I have a 01 Ford Taurus 3.0L OHV with an AXOD trans. It got stuck in a pile of snow, and I was an idiot and just spun the wheels to get it unstuck. Anyways, right after (~5min) I get it unstuck I park it and it isn't driven for 2-3 hours. When I drive it again, I get about one and a half miles before it starts slipping like crazy. I park it (and kill the engine) to run a really quick errand, and when I get back it is completely stalled. Had it towed home. When its home, I let it cool off for a day and go back to it. Here's the kicker. I put 2 qts of tranny fluid in it, and once it warms up (~2min) it shoots it through the dipstick. yeah, right through the dipstick.

What can you tell me from the information I gave? feel free to ask for clarification.
