I have attached a link to a photograph of my transmission dipstick.

The image might not be that big but I added some text in white on the photograph. On the far left there is an 'ADD' mark then a little further right of that there is an 'OK' band and a little further right of that there is a MAX line.
On the far right of the photograph there is a mark - - max when hot Check in Neutral. This mark is about 4 inches further up the dipstick than the other max mark. If I fill to the first MAX level when cold and check the fluid hot in neutral it never reaches the - - mark on the far right of the photograph. At the moment ny fluid level whether hot or cold is around the second bend in the twisted part of the dipstick. So my question is which is the right fill line because when I added 6 qts I was able to reach the max -- when hot but then it leaked transmission fluid everywhere?
