Just did a fluid/filter change and i can't get the level right. The level is correct when cold but when trans is hot the dipstick says there's no fluid.

I am checking fluid hot when vehicle is in park and running. Also I am checking the fluid level per the vehicle's manual.

Last time I did the fluid and filter I had zero issues. What gives?
 






Add some fluid. I believe that is normal as the pump is running while truck is on.
 






I'm in the process of adding fluid now. General consensus is to always trust hot fluid level. Thank you.
