It sounds like a leaking FPR to me but first we should look at the OBD codes. To get the codes on the message panel under the speedometer, turn the key on, then on the A/C buttons, press <Off> and <Pass Warmer> together for a few seconds until all the dash lights come on like you just turned on the key, then release them both. The car's computers will then read out their codes one module at a time, ending with a prompt "PCM?" at which time you can press <Off> to repeat the process or <Auto> or <Information reset> to take the car's computes out of the diagnostic mode. Write down the codes and post them here.

code I027-PRND321 switch failure, code T027-LF wheel speed sensor continuity fault and code T073-PCM EBTCH/EBCM pulse width modulation signal fault. i think its the T073 code plus do you know where i could get the parts to fix the PRND321switch and speed sensor. Thank you

My first call for parts is Rock Auto, with GM Parts Direct, New Cadillac Parts, GM Motors, and Rippy Automotive as well. Rock Auto has nearly everything and ships quickly, and the dealer-based outfits usually offer a VIN check to make sure that the part will fit.

All three of your codes look more like electrical problems than parts failures. I would look at the connector and wiring to the LF wheel speed sensor to address T027, the connector at the EBTCM to address T073, and the adjustment of the PRNDL switch to address I027.
