overdrive problem!

i have a 98 F-150 4x4.just bought it.drove it for about 450 miles so far.just yesterday,once it went into overdrive it would slip out of gear.i turn off the overdrive button and it would run fine.i checked the fluid and needed a quart.put it in and it didnt do it again,but only drove it for about a mile after fill.today on my way to work it did the same thing.also on the way home today.all the other gears work just fine.anyone had this problem before or know a solution?

Is Your Od Light Flashing? If So, It Is Telling You That It Has A Problem. Pull The Codes And See If You Have Any Related To The Transmission.

The Code Should Be Stored For The Next 80 Or So Start Cycles. When The Od Light Is Flashing The Prognosis Is Usually Bad. Look Forward To An Overhaul Or At Least A Convertor Change.
