Leaking front seal on the transmission and a bad crank position sensor. You can try transmission stop leak as a temp fix but to actually correct the problem you will need to remove the transmission and replace the seal. As for the wire issue you either need a new CPS or a new connector to the CPS.

Well after i got out of work today,,,, its leaking out of the trans pan or whatever it is... also... so how much do u think that will cost?

If it is coming out of the pan itself and not the cover over the torque convertor, simply loosen the pan, drain the fluid, go ahead and change the filter, put on a new gasket, and replace the pan. Probably cost less than $30 for the filter and fluid change. Kit comes with a gasket. As for the Crank position sensor, it depends on the size of the engine and whether you do the work yourself. If you can do the work yourself then about $50 if not you will need to have someone do it for you parts the same about $100 labor. If you only need a connector a few dollars at a dealer and some time to cut, soldier and replace the connector on the CPS.
