I wonder if the leak could be from this common problem transmission connector?

Also, I would check the battery connections like Franc suggested and if you still have the white Varta battery, get a new one before you get stranded. But I feel the tranny "slip" that you are feeling is the S/C kicking in and out which would be the I/C pump needing replaced. I felt the same thing when I drove my new (to me) SRT back from OK City to Wichita (3 hour drive, approx). About every 20 or 30 minutes, the car would feel like it would "surge" forward (S/C kicking off). I never felt it when it would kick back in, but I definitely felt it when it shut off. Had no idea what it was until I found this forum.

As far as the error codes and what caused them, I am in the dark on that. I like Alaxfire's advice and have them cleared to see if they come up again (after the battery has been checked/tightened/replaced if needed).

I think you have multiple conditions here by coincidence.
