Highly unlikely that your problem has anything to do with fluids. You're experiencing the typical TCS Limp Home Mode ("LHM") symptoms.
-- Start with the simple stuff. Check all your vacuum hoses to see that they're all connected and that none of the hoses are deteriorated and leaking
-- If those are okay, the two items on the false firewall to check are the plastic check valve (two-colored, circular -- if it's black and white it's older) and the safety valve (to the left of the check valve, vacuum hose coming into the bottom, black plastic body, electrical connector on it, mounted to false firewall).
-- Worst case would be your throttle body. If it turns out to be this part that's the problem, I highly recommend buying one of the rebuilt TBs from Ultima Ltd. $313. Have one in my car, and very happy with it. They advertise in the Saabnet classified ads -- Parts.
That's just a quick zip over things. Be search to search "TCS," "Limp-Home Mode," etc. on this bulletin board. TONS of posts on this.
