CHEVROLET BLAZER

Chevy, Blazer 1999 120,000 miles v6 4WD my blazer idles rough at stops and take offs it will run smooth then will run slow on and off in park and when I stop some where or go to take off its chugs at take off but when in motion its smooth and if I let it wide open I dont have the problem at all at stops. I think I have a transmition fluid leak (fluid in garage floor) but I dont see why it would do that would it? The truck is in excelent condition and I just bought it a month ago for my wife and really want to keep it but im scared to take it in to the dealer for a check beacause I took my 97 dodge about a month and a half after I bought it ended up with a bill over $1k in repairs after a friend got me a employee disacount it was around $750 how much will a transmition fluid leak cost me to be fixed on this vehicle and if it is fuel injection how much would that cost me?

my 97 dodge intrepid did the same thing and the turn out was a fuelinjection problem and a hole in a vacume hose, plugs, and wires. But. I had gas spraying on the windshield and I dont have that problem here

I took this vehicle to the dealership following what I already wrote and the result was a water pump! I asked if that was why it was idling rough they said yes because its been running hot ! This blazer doesnt chug when I drive off anymore u can hardly hear the motor running witch was normal behavior even with the problem and when im stopped I can feel it idle just a little bit like a jump here and there but im sure thats normal everythings fine as far as I can tell !
