Transmission problems usually it's best to take it to a tranny shop. A rebuilt is going to run you a couple thousand. Ideally it's not the transmission, maybe a valve or solenoid, and just a few hundred to fix. If you're high mileage, 150,000 or more, you should have had the fluid changed at least every 50k (don't quote me, consult manual).
As to the oil being too full...that's another problem, could cause seals to start leaking, but then you're already dealing with leaks you said. If it's not too over full, a little over the top of the line isn't going to kill you. If it's so full it's coming out of the dip stick tube...that's gotta be drained out then.
