Drivshaft? What is the aweful banging noise?
What fluid would I use and how do I know if it is full? Is there a way to drain and replace??

Also if you're leaking red fluid, that's transmission fluid and that needs to be addressed too. There's no dipstick to keep an eye on the level and when it gets low enough to be below pickup level... Again, you'll be in for a new transmission.
Does the Torque converter share fluid with transmission? can I keep filling it to maintain it for now?
How does the torque converter work?
The torque converter is, essentially, a fluid pump. It shares fluid with the transmission that is pumped outward toward the outside of the torque converter. Inside is the torque converter is an impeller. This impeller is not unlike a small fan that uses centrifugal force to pump the transmission fluid. The impeller faces the turbine of the engine. The faster the turbine spins, the faster the impeller spins and, subsequently, the more torque transferred from the engine to the transmission.
Here is a good look at the Tcase output flange nut being waaaaaaaaay out of spec > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZH7dxMEgcUk
