Looks like a good unit, Rustyshackle. Just throw those plastic thingys away before you get tempted to use them.

Rustyshackle, if/when you decide to install a cooler, do take a look at the kind that looks like a small radiator (rather than finned tubing). Those are quite a bit more efficient, and generally easier to install since they have flanges at the ends. Unless one considers plastic ties pushed...

If it was plugged, you most certainly pushed something in there. What I find interesting is that the area around the vent is the only place that isn't covered with some sort of fluid residue. Anyway, those vents are simply pressed in, as I recall.

It should look and smell much like new ATF. If it looks brownish or smells somewhat burnt, it's toast. I had a TH-350 spit ATF out once, and it caught fire. After discharging a fire extinguisher in the engine compartment I learned two things. One, use Halon (or modern substitutes) not powder...

TH-400s are infamous for spitting out excess fluid. As Tinstar pointed out, check that what's left of the ATF is good. If it is, and the level is still above "Min" on the dipstick, I wouldn't worry about it. You may want to start carrying a fire extinguisher if it happens again, though.
