Okay in about half a day the transmission went from good to spewing fluid everywhere and the vehicle won't go over 25mph without the rpms getting red-lined and sometimes has no power at all. What would cause the transmission to go out so quickly and why would it be spewing transmission fluid everywhere? (When fluid is replaced it can be driven about 10 miles and then fails again. Only tried that once!)

Buy another car since you dont have time to accurately locate leak with common sense/effort! Most likely it is a rubber/metal cooling line located between trans and radiator in the front of the car. You can actually bypass this by just rerouting the out to the in right at the trans connections. As a temp/perm fix!
