anyone with transmission fluid leak?

Looks like my transmission fluid is slowly leaking, I find few small droplets on the transmission case in the same place (under front driver side, can see behind the wheel if turn all the way to the left). I can attach pictures. I had to add 1/2 quart since last transmission fluid change, keeping an eye on how fast it drops. Did anyone have those problems, is that something simple or a big job?
otherwise fluid has nice red color, not burnt, and transmission shifts fine.

Dealer replaced o-ring seal in the transmission extension housing, the leak is almost gone, but still spots red fluid on paper towel, they are trying to figure it out with dye. the spotting is so small, that its not really a problem, but after paying $500 I expect it to be fixed 100%

Picture:


was leaking under one bolt shown in the picture. Replaced 3 bolts and o-ring under the cover hold by bolts:
o-ring: 91303-PC9-004

They also added 2 qt of ATF, it was a bit low and I suspect when they open it some of it must be drained. seal is like $8, most of it is labor I guess... though seems like a simple procedure.
It now seems to stop leaking, thought I had some residue after they fixed it, so when I came back they sprayed some stuff and told me to come back again. I will come back, but it looks dry now.
other than that, tranny is in perfect shape.

This and new A/C coils ($800) was my biggest repair so far, car is great otherwise. 115K miles.
