Default Transmission "sliping"?

Hey guys, for the past week and a half or so I've been noticing very small leeks on my driveway( Don't believe it's oil)

And for the past couple days my car has been getting "stuck" when i accelerate every once in a while(way less times not sticking)

My car is an Auto and i assume it has something to do with the transmission? maybe just fluid? Idk, any help would be greatly appreciated.

The autos are notorious for valve body issues that cause slipping and then failure. Get under the car and check for leaks and check the trans fluid level. It's not easy compared to any other car though. You have to have the car off the ground and level, and at a certain temperature.

here's a good guide...
