As you all may or may not know, I drive, and will continue for the near future until Apple stock does to my pleaing, a Buick Regal Custom. It's like from 88 or something.

Well I've been having a problem with the car lately, and was hoping maybe I could get some insight from you guys.

First problem is that if I stop too quickly the car stalls...it's automatic. The major problem though is if I try to accelerate too quickly, and by too quickly I mean at a normal rate to get to normal highway speed or up a hill at least the speed of a semi, it just revs the RPM's but doesn't change gears. I have to go REALLY slow to accelerate, and this is annoying, and also dangerous for when I get on the highway.

Transmission and oil look ok, but it seems to be leaking large amounts of oil. The oil level is, and has been ok for a while, even high, but like I said, it leaks fairly regularly.
