The overdrive light comes on when driving at highway speeds and I have to pull over to the side of the road and turn off the engine and restart the engine to get the light off.. Yesterday, I drove about 20 miles on the highway with the overdrive light on and when I stopped for gas about a quart of transmission fluid came out onto the driveway. The fluid seemed very hot.. The van seems to shift just fine, but what could be wrong?

you need to have a transmission shop look at the vehicle .. you shouild not loose fluid from the transmission it may be low and getting to hot or the cooler is damaged .. have it checked soon !
