What you need to know is that I pulled my tranny thinking I would do the same only to find out it was a head gasket.
If it really is the seal it can be replace but requires a special tool. Or it can be fabricated on a lathe. Also there are special lip seals available if the crank has a ring worn in it that allow the lip to ride on a new portion of the crank.
For the transmission, some piece of pipe either PVC or steel will usually do the job as a seal installer.
