That is a scary situation. The best, and cheapest, thing you can do is immediately replace the gasket. You can keep driving it with a slow leak, but you will have to keep putting Transmission Fluid in it. Which will cost you more in the long run. If you replace that gasket now, You won't have to worry about constantly re-filling the transmission fluid.
