Subject:can't go forward

Last Sunday, at Camano Island, the van wouldn't catch after three days of sitting unstarted.  The WetWesties got it going and it's been running beautifully ever since.

Today I drove about four miles, turned a corner, and stopped moving.

I have reverse gear (automatic transmission), but no forward gears.  There's a small transmission leak when the engine is running, but not apparently when it is not. All the fluids are present in apparently proper amounts.  Maybe a bit too much transmission fluid.

AAA towed it to a friend's driveway.  Any guesses as to the problem?
