Yea. Makes no sense. Oil pressure is lower hot. (as the muty-wt gets thicker 
). But I believe the trany fluid reads HIGHER as it warms up. If it read lower instead, I could see how it might look that way.

Nah it has something to do with how when your tranny starts to slip from being low on fluid it takes load off the motor so its not pulling as much but its at the same rpm

Since the engine oil level is checked with the engine off, (after it's been sitting level for a minute or two), the tranny slipping or not won't effect it. Hope that helps.

Not sure about this. Seems to me pressure is driven by bearing tolerances, amount and viscosity of oil and oil pump rpms. (when working correctly)
Are you saying your pressure would also drop when driving in snow, on ice or mud? That would be less stress on the motor as the tires spin.
Not saying your wrong, Im just saying it doesnt make a whole lot of sense to me.
