transmission trick
ok so i was supposed to pull my trans today but instead my dad says to just put a couple quarts in it and go .
he says that a transmission man said that sittin in a cruise in like i was or haulin hay heats up the seals causing a leak .
the fix let it sit and cool off and refill
is this true or not.

When the oil is getting hot it starts to leak if the seal is worn out. Hot oil has a higher fluctuation, so the seal can't hold it inside anymore. This process is not related to "things getting bigger when they worm up" - difference between hot/cold temperatures is not that big to notice it.
