Crazy tranny problems, fluid pouring out around dipstick!
A few nights ago my car stared to jump forward while I drive and it did the same thing this morning on my way to work. It feels like theres a huge delay when I press the gas pedal and all the sudden it jumps forward. So during lunch I checked my fluid level and it was empty. I did notice a pretty bad leak, but I didnt think it was that bad. So I buy some tranny fluid fill it up through the dip stick hole and a few secounds later it starts pouring out from somewhere around that area. Anyone ever have this same problem???

The hesitation and lurching you're referring to is normal behavior for transmissions with low fluid levels. Did you pour in the right amount or is there a possibility that you overfilled it? I would take a look under the car. It is most likely that the transmission oil pan is damaged.
