It could've been a drop from fluid in the tube after filling. I was thinking 8-10 quarts with a filter, but that is just a generalization depending on the pan depth, etc, etc. Pour a half to one quart at a time, cycle it through and then check the dipstick, if low add more. Once it reads on the dipstick it'll take one quart or less to fill it. Sounds as though it was pretty low to begin with, i have seen low fluid do wierd things, just fill it and drive it, if it is damaged you'll know soon enough.
