is there a fluid puddle under where the car was parked?
a pint of transmission fluid covers 7 square feet ,the fluid is red dyed .The ultramatic can have a slow leak from the pan gasket, and from the bushing where the shift selector rod goes in to the case where theres a bushing that can wear out .low fluid levels can cause a chirpy noise .
to check the fluid level ,,the easiest way is up on a lift... if you dont have a lift you can do it from the iside of the car; driver side pull back the back edge of the carpet or mat theres two holes ;the one on the top of the hump in the midline is the filler hole ,and the one on the driver side of the hump is over the dipstick .its a bit hard to reach
