Default leaking transmission. going bad?

hey. it seems my car is leaking transmission fluid near the front and in the rear. i cant really see where its coming from, but im guessing its the seal on the front. i have an automatic transmission. i havent changed the filter/fluid as recommended by 03YellowPony (i have 95k miles and dont know if it has ever been done). im taking the car to the aamco tomorrow and having them look at it.

i know you cant really tell without pictures, but its dark outside right now.


what could it possibly be? would it be cheap to fix?

<edit> its not a "class 3" leak more like a "Class 1 in front and class 2 in rear". basically, the fluid is there. not enough to form drops in front. enough to start to form drops in rear, however has not started dropping </edit>

Could be the pan gasket, or the input and/or output shaft seals. Hope it's the pan gasket. Cus it's a lot cheaper to fix. And if it is, you're gonna be getting a fluid and filter change afterall.

Is it leaking from a copper/bronze colored seal at the bottom of your radiator
