Help with C6 Tarans problem

I'm hoping someone may understand my babble. I have a 1988 F150 4x4 5.8 x-cab stock except the 31's. My issue started when I had a local shop replace the oil pump. Not sure what got bumped out of wack but has not shifted right sence. Here is what it is doing. It will not shift auto on it's own and seems like not getting all the gears I have to let up off the gas pedal for it to shift or it will stay in first. Park would not lock in but adjusting the linkage got it close enough to drive which I have been for awhile. I bought a 88 Bronco that a kid rolled for his momma(bet she was happy) to cheap to pass up for the trans. I got around to driving my F150 up on small ramps puts it close to 15 or 20* incline and started looking. Reading the posts I could find most pointed to vacum issue so I pulled the vacum line off the pod on the pass side rear of trans and trans fluid started pouring out.

Within the last 6 months I had the trans flushed and level checked several times....any ideas or more info needed?
Thanks

The line to the pod on the back is to the modulator and could cause some of the problems you describe. Also it shouldn't leak a bunch of fluid. I would try replacing it if your linkage is adjusted ok.
