Typically if the leak is from the periphery of the transmission pan, you can fix it yourself by tightening all the bolts holding the pan on. You only have to snug them down firmly; don't overtorque, you're not bolting on a cylinder head.
If the pan itself is damaged or the gasket is cracked, new ones are easily available from your nearby Ford dealer. The most difficult part about replacement is catching all the fluid that will drain out; the only way to do that is to loosen the pan and drop one corner of it, into a large drain pan. See "Related Questions" below for much more about draining Taurus / Sable transmissions, filter & gasket changes. Oh yeah, and other related information about fluids and dipsticks and the like...

What might cause a 1995 Ford Taurus to leak transmission fluid?
There is no one answer. The entire transmission, all trans cooler lines, and the trans cooler all have fluid in them. Anything that contains fluid has the potential to leak anywhere. On a transmission there are a number of moving parts, such as input shafts and output shafts, each with a seal. That is a likely source for a leak, esp given the age of this transmission. Another likely source for a leak is the rubber cooler lines and/or the clamps. But really, the entire transmission body can leak at any seal or gasket. There are literally dozens of opportunities for a transmission to leak. The only way to find it is raise the vehicle and search out the leak.
