Default Whiney Car and Transmission Fluid Evaporating (leaking somewhere)

I've been away for awhile since my 1995 Honda Accord V6 has been holding up well until just recently. Now i have a couple of idiosyncrasies that are starting to bug me: 1) something periodically intermittently emits a high pitched whine when accelerating; and 2) transmission fluid is leaking to some 4th dimension (nothing on the ground)

Had anyone had either of these two issues? I've gone through a case of Honda ATF (and since i'm not sure where to get more) so I figured I should see if anyone has any ideas on the above two items and where to get the Honda ATF at a good price.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts (and yes the car still leaks oil)

Update: Still do not know where the transmission fluid leak may be, but i do have transmission fluid. I called a local dealer and their price was about as good as I could get on Amazon and they had it in stock. So, if you need the transmission fluid, call and ask the price. I was pleasantly surprised that each quart was ~$9.

So, i have been living with the leaky transmission and i finally ran out of the case of transmission fluid i purchased. The fluid finally started showing up on the ground, but outboard of the transmission. we are trying to replace the transaxle seals, we'll see if this works.
