Ok, well i figured out what was wrong with my car, the bushing had come out and pushed the output shaft seal out and tranny fluid went everywhere cause lots of smoke etc. A friend said that my u-joint is bad and that it could have vibrated and caused the bushing to slowly come out which is what cause the seal to go, so I kinda just lightly hammered the bushing back in got the new seal in and am replacing the u-joint tomorrow. Do you guys think that that is the problem and if it is will that fix it or will I need tranny work? It's an automatic.

No tranny work needed at all. If its the original driveshaft i'd go ahead and change the U joints since they'r inexpensive and easy to do. Also, change the rear seal on the tranny also since its also easy to change. If you have trouble doin it under the car you can just take the tailshaft off the AOD, since its only 4 bolts i believe. Thats what i did when i had to replace the rear seal.
