How do I know if my torque converter is going out?

I have a feeling it's kinda being ****ty, how can you tell for sure if it's going out?

Mine started pouring fluid out of it, but that's pretty darn rare, chalk one up to B&M. Usually you can tell because it feels like the tranny is slipping in all gears including reverse by about the same amount. Normally if it were the tranny it would feel different in different gears.
