Me not being big auto guy I didn't look for it on the install and i'm almost positive if never had one. What problems will this cause? Also is there a chance this puppy is inside the convertor or trans now? I don't see inside the convertor, but hell I'm sure the pressure is pretty crazy in that area.

This green o-ring is what I was missing.
That o-ring positively seals torque converter lockup release oil. Without it, you may or may not notice any difference in TCC operation. If the torque converter turbine hub has a tight enough fit tolerance to the OD of the input shaft, you probably won't have any lockup issues. However, in the spirit of good shop practice, it is best to have an o-ring there.
