ANSWER: Hi Emmitt -

When was the last tune up you had? e.g. spark plugs, wires? Non firing cylinders could cause O2 sensors to activate the CEL.

Answer
Hi Emmitt

You can lose transmission fluid a few ways. If you are not seeing it on the ground, then try checking your radiator water. Sometimes the cooling lines leak in there. Other than that you do have a modulator that uses vacuum to shift the gears. Check your exhaust if there is white smoke, or oil in the pipe.
