All you need is the new copper seal, should come with a new oil filter. In the mean time, just loosen a bit and retighten, this will probably cure the leak.
Also, if you did have tranny fluid on the floor, likely the torque coverter leaked down. On a Benz, this will overfill the tranny body and cause fluid loss. Check the tranny fluid when you get a chance, it may be a bit low. Only cure is to start the car occasionally to refill the torque converter.
