Pulled a heavy load now trannys dripping??

i have a 91 300 6 with an e40d trannsmission, our 4610 Ford tractor broke down in the field so i pulled it maybe 50 yds with my truck, it didnt like it but it did it

now my tranny is dripping at a decent pace it looks like from the hole in the bottom of the trans, drove it ten miles home and it shifts fine

what could i have done??

You pushed the convertor bushing forward and cut the seal.

You might have just overheated the seal. If it seals once it cools down you're fine unless you overheat it again.
