worst case... you run out of fluid and destroy the transmission costing you upwards of 1200-1700 to fix.... (if you have someone do it for you)

if its a cooler line/fitting, just shell out the $50-100 to have it fixed or fix it yourself, same for a leaking pan gasket. will save you lots of money in the long run.
