i have a 01 sebring lxi coupe, 3.0 L /180kms, i noticed that i had a decent leak from my transmission, i think its a seal, mostly only drips good when its been running and car is warmed up, any idea if a stop leak product works, and any idea how much it would cost (ball park estimate) to replace the seal or seals, i am from manitoba, canada

Don't use any type of leak sealer in a transmission. Besides that, leak sealer won't seal rotating components.
You'll need to take it to a shop to have the leak source determined and to give you an estimate for repair.
Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

All it does it swell anything made of rubber and that is not a good thing.

They don't just change gaskets. When they tear it down, they do a rebuild.

Don't want to use any type of chemical in the transmission fluid unless you want major problems.

Same with all not to use sealers. Find out just what is leaking if it runs fine otherwise it might be something fairly basic, might not but knowing is better. If you continue to drive do pay attention and keep it properly filled with proper fluid, - T
