The Dumb A** thing I did.

1985 900 S.
I was doing an fluid change on my Tranny, and I stripped out the bolt for the drain plug.
OK, here's what happend. I overtighted my drain plug and when I took out the plug, The "threads" from the tranny casing were still attached to the drain plug. It looks like a spring. Does this make sense? I can take a picture of it tonight.
Please help. I am not loosing too much fluid over time. Maybe a quart in a week. I check the plug and the fluid level every time I get into the car. I have 2 quarts of fluid and my socket set in the car.
Thanks again.
