Transmission Emergency Run Failure + Smoke (from side vent) + Fluid

2003 Boxster S Triptronic

While going over the Altamont Pass, I got a red warning about the Transmission Emergency Run Failure and the transmission showed I was in 4th gear instead of 5th. The message flashed four times, but by the time II found a safe place to pull over, it had cleared. No other engine lights or warnings displayed and the car seemed fine.

The next afternoon, I tried to drive home when I noticed smoke coming from the side vent (it smelled a lot like caramel). There is a strange noise coming from that general area as well. Then I noticed all the fluid pouring out.

My regular mechanic is out for the holidays until the 3rd. The car has been left for dead in Modesto. Any ideas?
