On quick, right-hand turns, I often lose power to the drive wheels. I
can hear the engine speed go up a little, but no acceleration goes
with it. When I come out of the turn, I can feel something like a
clutch grabbing, and the power returns.
So is this:
1. A CV joint?
2. The transmission slipping?
3. Bad shocks that let one wheel leave the ground on right hand turns?
Thanks.

You mention nothing about the transmission fluid level? possibly your only
problem besides the leak

Is this a common symptom with a low tranny fluid level?
I don't see any evidence of a leak. I will check the level tomorrow.

No what I was saying is... if the fluid is low, then look for a leak
