well, my transmission side cover is replaced. the outside was rusted and I could see where fluid was leaking out. however, the inside was still good (so nothing leaked through).
how great will the seal be? okay....I got most of the rust off.
now I'm just low on transmission fluid (it leaked out big time). its sitting in a bucket...figure 2 or 3 pints low!
how badly could that hurt my car?
ADDENDUM:
and checked...yup, the seal didn't take perfectly. there was a little bit of transmission fluid still leaking. found the area and proceeded to use the sealant in that area, trying to get the leak to stop.
so here's hoping!

You really do need to replace the fluid.
