After I wrote the below, I found:
1: Search "Ford Parts", I found 1 site that looked inviting but there=20
are more: http://www.fordparts.com/default.aspx?gnav=3Dfoot:features
2: Enter Vin number, and click appropriate links, should take you to a=20
parts diagram. There appeared to be a half dozen differentmodels for=20
that vehicle.

Don't know which model transmission that is, but might be a C-4 or C-6.=20
Is it and overdrive transmission? It might be an E4OD. There should be=20
ametal or white plastic film tag on the transmission that will have a=20
part number on it that will define the model/variation specifically.=20
Search (Google) that number, should be able to find a parts list that=20
will define the part, number and price.

When you say donut, I'll go a little further, like the top of an aerosol=20
can, but not quite as high? Could be a modulator or a piston servo. How=20
is the piece held in place? spring clip, bracket and screws? A picture=20
is worth 1000 words.

Where is it leaking, did it rust through a hole? At a joint where it=20
comes apart? Clean area thoroughly, then start very briefly. Might just=20
be needing a replacement O-ring. Be careful dissembling there could be=20
strong springs, and/or fluids under high pressure. Might be safer to=20
take to a shop. If the transmission doesn't have to be removed should be=20
inexpensive. Might be you can get it apart and not back together, then=20
expensive tow. :(
