Makes perfect sense... your trans could be slipping. Might be an easy
fix (topping off with ATF) or a rough one (coming up with the $$$ for
transmission work at the local shop). Try Option A and take the bus on
the expressway. Should that work, you're cool; don't sweat the leak and
just keep it topped up. Should that NOT work, BY ALL MEANS CHECK FOR
EVERYTHING ELSE FIRST (dragging brakes, etc.) because trans work is a
real pain.

Trust me.
