Default transmission leak

Are there any remedies on fixing a trans leak Ive been noticing on my driveway there are drips of trans fluid on the floor. I recently changed my fluid and just started noticing the drips on my driveway.

Do I have to get it resealed?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I had the same problem, all i did was to change all my transmission oil seal. And even if only one seal worn out u would like to change all the seal at one shot. Cause the seals are cheap but to remove the whole gearbox is difficult. So u rather change every seal when u tear apart the gearbox.

Those are usually just a temporary fix. They work by causing the existing seals to swell, but it'll often degrade the quality of your tranny fluid and risk damage to your actual transmission. If you didn't have the tools or location to change your seals, i'd personally rather keep a bottle or two of tranny fluid in the trunk and top off as needed than use any stop leak type additive.
