My '94 LHS is leaking from the same place. I've read on the internet (some Chrysler dedicated website that I can't recall at this moment), and have been told by a couple of tranny shops that a rebuild is in order. In case you're curious, the cost is ~$1400 for a local shop to rebuild my unit or ~$2200 for them to replace with a Chrysler remanufactured unit.
My LHS had some issues with the xmission leaking around the pan as well. In my case it turned out that since I was changing the fluid every 20k miles (all bolts torqued to spec btw) that the threads were stripping out. We've helicoiled the crap out of the bolt holes (at least 3/4 are now done) and it has been fine for the 12k miles since the last fluid/filter change. But, tomorrow is it's last day as my new company ride has shown up. 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix GT II. Saw it at the dealer yesterday ! Nice car. Hope it holds up as well as the LHS. I'll miss it.

It doesnt seem worth it to replace the trans at 120K miles. I looked at a 2004 Limited candy apple red with a slate top, 6K miles demo at my dealers, for $26,500. Probably doesnt sell too many in Dec.
