Transmission problem 1988 automatic Acura Legend

I have a 1988 automatic Acura Legend and I just bought the car and on my way home I noticed that the tranny was slipping a little. I went home and changed the fluid and it was a wierd dark orange and red but it didnt smell burnt. My D4 barely works and my 2 is out and my other gear works sometimes with it slipping at times. I have to baby it. It will race up in high rpms and I will let off the gas and it will slowly kick in. Is my tranny fried or is there a filter I can change and where is it? Also I was wondering if maybe there was a vacuum leak down by the trans. Modulator or somewhere else. Oh and also my power steering is leaking, everyday that I drive it, it is empty and I have to put new fluid in everyday I drive. I am going to college and I am panicing. I am just a girl and dont know what to do?Can anyone out there please help me?
