I took the car in and the high-pressure line of the transmission had developed a pin hole leak, so as the pressure in the transmission increased the car's speed the fluid poured out of the car. My Mechanic had the hole in the line welded closed and the problem has gone away. The VSA light and the Check engine light came, when this happen cruise control would cut off. I assumed it was the timing sensor, I took the car in and the mechanic said the oil pan was dry and that the timing chain was stretched and time tensioner was shot as well and the cam for the valves were bent. It needed a major engine overhaul.
