I think I figured it out. It's speed-based, not gear-based. I also get a "shift up" at 60-65mph, and given that there's no up from 5th I have to assume that's for 4th gear.

Ignore that light, it's dumber than you are. A good solution for it is to pull the gauge cluster and apply a square of electrical tape to the surface so it won't bother you again.

Not sure the cutoff year/engine options for this, but look on top of the intake manifold, toward the back. My '94 has a rigid steel line that snaps into a fitting like this:


When those go bad, it can be a pretty small leak like you described. It's pretty easy (but potentially messy) to replace. Make sure the clamp holding that line is present and properly mounted - I had to replace mine a second time because the line was leaning to one side and deformed the seal inside the fitting.

Good call, I replaced hundreds of these back in the early 2000s. The Dorman piece was better than OEM.
