Scan the computer for code/s, if no CEL-have the tranmsission further checked by a transmission specialist-hard to say where its coming from internally

The fluid level has to be on the Hot side when engine and transmission is at normal operating temperature-

You need to get the level corect. Fill it to the cold mark and see if it moves. Check it with the engine running in park.
