I see the reference leaks, too. I didn't notice the ssl leaks before
because I usually don't run the refleak test with -unetwork or -uall.

./python Lib/test/regrtest.py -R1:2 -unetwork test_ssl

I've started to work on a patch that adds GC support to Modules/_ssl.c
PySSLObject but I don't have time to finish it until tonight.
