I was driving and I heard like a light pulling like straing sound but the van was druving fine then all of a sudden it seemed to be loosing acceleration then I heard a pop sound and also a little spinning sound as if something had came loose and I tried pressing the gas but no accleration so I pulled it over and tried turning it off then on but when I turned it on I tried putting it inti gear nothing. And I have a ling trail of transmission fluid and a big puddle of transmiitransmission fluid underneath. Can you help me

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.
