Default Seafoaming FAILURE!! ..also tranny leak?

Well the Seafoam was a complete waist of time.... I sucked up 1/3 in a cup through the brake booster (sry Dan couldnt find the mini vacuum hose near UIM) with my friend under the gas pedal... Waited 15-17min fired her up with no hesitation and thats it.... Then i poured the rest in the gas tank. (NO SMOKE SHOW!!) During the high revving while my buddy was recording an accident happens near us (stupid lady drove into some guys door both while driving).
So we're like screw it we drove to an open parking lot and started screwing around (buddy making donuts, me reverse 180ing). We then went someone to eat, after we were done I COULDNT *****EN Start the DAMN car!!! I couldn't start it to the point where the battery started to fade out. I went to a an auto store to buy some fluids, and after still returning it managed to run on 1 or 2 pistons, so i started pumping and finally got all bangers to fire up. (still no smoke show). went home after a long drive and found out i have almost no tranny oil!!!!!! WTH!

Seafoam had nothing to do with the tranny leak because earlier that month i checked the tranny oil level while the motor was running and so barly so i though to myself it might be because it too cold. But today i check and almost nothing (shows an arrow to fill up to 5L'* to normal fluid level.

Sorry for the novel but im really disappointed with this car...

BTW theres a bit of snow here

Forgot to mention, Got a check engine light after i fired her up from 15min. And when i was sucking this thing in i drowned the engine at the last sip of the seafoam (engine shutoff on its own)
THe light eventually disappeared after screwing around in the parking lot.
