I don't think theres anything wrong with fixing a 30 year old car so that it lasts a good amount of time.. 30 years or 10.

You're a fool if you think its cheaper to buy a new car vs buy a decent used car and perform maintenance. You'll always come out ahead if you do your homework and everything properly.

I don't think the OP quite needs a trans reseal or anything that drastic, it could be something as simple as a loose line or pan bolt or even the gasket it self..

The additive will only temporarily fix the problem, not cure it.
