Life Transmission fluid type problems

Automatic transmissions work off pressure. If the fluid is low enough your not going to have proper pressure to engage things internally, which means your slipping your clutch discs in the clutch pack. A transmission that's slipping the fluid will smell burned and start to become discolored from a bright red to a brownish red.

Your leak could be the front pump seal on the transmission. If it is you might get lucky with dumping in some Lucas Oil transmission fix to get that seal to swell back up. Another source of a leak is somebody over tightening the pan bolts smashing the gasket. Your only suppose to torque the pan bolts something like 10 inch pounds or something like that. If its the pan gasket that will be cured with a filter change.
