John,
I will help you with what I can.
I believe (I am pretty sure this would apply to your car), that it will start in second gear, unless put into kick-down. And yes, the Revs are normal. My 1995 C-class is the same way. The transmission sounds fine to me.
As for the oil leak, it could be the head gasket, but I am not sure if this was a problem on that car...
Others will provide more valuable input I'm sure, but for now, I think your transmission is just fine! Good luck.
