If the tranny is working well and the only problem is the leak, its probably the seal where the linkage goes through the case. Its not a difficult repair, just remove the pan, remove the valve body and remove the linkage. Replace the seal and put it back together.
If you don't have experience with removing and replacing the valve body, take it to a shop. You can easily warp the valve body if you torque it back down correctly. The repair shouldn't cost enough to make it worth taking chances.

As for rebuilding the tranny the cost of specialized tools would not be worth it for the do it yourself'r. As for the seal it should be an easy R&R if it's accessible.

Thanks guys for the advise. I'm pretty sure it's just the seal (tranny works fine). Better safe than sorry... so I'll take it to a shop.
