That is one mean sentence. With no punctuation it can be interpreted in at least three different ways but I did figure out there was the sound of something breaking and it's leaking transmission fluid. Suspect a broken cv joint and the inner one has pulled out of the transmission. A rebuilt half shaft will take care of that. Replacement takes about an hour.
