Tranny probs

Hey guys I have a long list of problems so I male them as organized as possible

Truck is sluggish up hills lacks power

-O/D light blinking off! Bad sensor?

- shifts very hard out of first and second unless I hammer the throttle

-now last after replacing all the tranny fluid filter and and gasket the transmission fluid just started pouring out of the spout in the inspection plate cover had to get towed home

Blinking OD Off light is the computer sensing a problem, and putting the trans into limp mode. That explains the hard shifts.
Get the codes read.

The flashing light means codes have been stored. Diagnosing what's wrong would be MUCH easier if you read the codes. Ford OBD Trouble Codes ?

do you think you overfilled it and it's now coming out the top and running down and out the spout? hows the fluid level look now? did the trans start slipping and that's when you pulled over to look and saw the fluid?

tip;
never hammer the throttle when the od light flashes.do just the opposite.run her easy home to grab codes.

The way to fix that is when running the engine off test hold the accelerator pedal to the floor.
