my truck is making a weird noise?

ok. i have a 1998 ford explorer sport edition (2door). recently i replaced all 4 tires, got new front brakes, rotors, and calipers. my check engine light went on, and they shut it off and if it went back on, theysaid it was a slow gas leak. its ben fine for a few weeks, but today it started making a weird noise and i dont feel like its driving right. it sounds like either its growling or kinda like a helicopter. from what i heard, i think its coming from the drivers side, and i hear it when i accelerate and when im in park. its definitely not normal. ive been told that i need to flush my transmission fluid, but ive been told not to because since its an older car, it would screw it up and never run right again. anybody know whats goin on here? what should i do, and would it be worth it to fix, or is it done for good? help?

    changing trans fluid is good but i don't know about flushing. i'd look at the brakes or get them looked at. get more opinions. often inspections are free. slow gas leak??
