Before you do all that I would recommend 3 to 4 treatments of heavy duty transmission stop-leak. Lucas (stops leaks or your $ back) makes a very good product. You can find something like this at an autopart store. It is a 50/50 shot but if it works it will be very inexpensive.
Start from the trans pan and move up, most of the time it is the pan gasket or a lose fitting on the trans cooler if it is equiped.

MMmmm....just right off the bat, most tranny leaks are not that expensive for the parts....it's they actual replacing of them that can be tricky. Not many parts that can leak yet they all seem to be a pain to fix. Best suggestion is to wipe it all down the best that you can to see where the leak is coming from. Then, place a piece of cardboard or drip pan underneath and wait...if you have a bad leak, you will notice right away and then can call around to see what the cost would be to fix it. Normally, it is cheaper if you can remove the tranny yourself and take it in....you save up to $85-90 an hour from labor. You also get your tranny back quicker. A plug for AAMCO, "the transmission specialists", you can take your vehicle into them and they will look over your tranny and see what the problem is, not remove anything, and then tell you what is wrong and then give you an estimate. Go with the wipe down first and then see what you find. Both this advice and the AAMCO visual are FREE! Ya can't beat free!!!
