'93 400e trans slips sometimes then it's fine

On the way home from Easter Sunday service. I drove about 3/4 of a mile (up to 25 mph), came to a stop and the car wouldn't move. The engine would rev, but no forward thrust, then a little forward thrust. Coasted along at 5 mph, but it in nuetral, revved a few time, no change, rinse repeat, but it in Low2 and it engaged, and was fine the rest of the way home, which included a stop and breakfast at my mom's house.

I remember it doing something similar when on our vacation, a little incline and first gear goes out. Car drove fine the 500 miles home.

I've since noticed a leak in the cooler lines and am wondering if air is getting into the system and causing foaming up of the trans fluid. Sound reasonable?

In fact both times this occurred after driving a little i.e. backing out my of the long drive, then not going into first gear, and today drive a little, come to a stop and not want to go again.
