my van starts up with no problem, it has 222011 miles on it , the problem is if i don't let it run for at least 10 min in the morning, it would move a little then stall and won't move, even after i press on the gas, i have to park it and add some trans fluid. then after i let it run awhile, it drives good. im going tomorrow to have the leaks repaired and pan changed. is this going to stop the stalling? as this is expensive to repair.... i'm told...

Stalling means the engine stops running. Is that what you mean to say? It sounds like you have a slipping transmission. That is going to occur if the transmission fluid is leaking out. That fluid has some important jobs to do. That's why it's in there. If it shifts okay and moves normally after you fill the fluid, it only makes sense that won't happen once the leaks are repaired.
