I have a 98 Chevy S-10 that has started leaking transmission fluid out of the middle part, past the pan and before the transmission itself.I don't see it leaking from pan so I don't think the problem is there. DO I have to take it to a shop to check out or is there a way to change the seal or gasket on it? I can drive it but not over 20 without the speedometer bouncing up and down and the ABS light comes on.

You are probably talking about the tailshaft section, I would let a tranny shop do it.

The vehicle speed sensor(VSS) is on the left rear of the transmission. U joints are only about 25.00, but if you remove the drive shaft, you'll need to heat it with a tourch at the yolk, GM uses an epoxy to hold them in place, and the heat will melt the epoxy. The VSS ranged in price from 20-40 dollars! and can be any of these 3...
