My Chevy Venture won't move at all, this was a gradulal problem that started with hesitation oin shifting and trouble pulling from a stop or going uphill. There is a visible leak around the radiator area and the fluid is watery, and black/brown. The "service engine" light is steady. What is wrong? Is the whole transmission gone.

Hi
Watery black/brown is a death note means clutches have burnt. So trans is toast. Drop pan if full of sluge and metal shavings then it's over.
Thanks for donate

Leak is not going to keep trans from shifting have codes read and sure it is a trans related code.
