Default tranny problem??

I just finished pulling my motor today after my car has been sitting since october. When i went to pull my converter off and let it drain it only trickled out a little bit of fluid maybe 1/4 of a quart. does this seem like a problem or was it just because it has not be stated since october and i did lose fluid when removing the cooler lines and the dip stick.

Sry for got to add this is a 4l60-e

Over time fluild would drain from the converter into the trans with the car setting that long , So probably not a problem if the car has not been started since october

There is not much to worry about given that the car has sat for a month or two. It is perfectly normal for torque converters to drain fluid back into the transmission... especially ones that do not have anti-drain back check valves /***** in the hydraulic circuitry.
