560 SEL Transmission leaking! How bad?

Hi,

I just got a call from my shop. Tranny is leaking, he told me. Either it's the torque converter or the front seal. Tranny needs to go he said, and that I need a new car!

117 k miles. It's always been wet below, drives fine, shifts fine. How seriously should I take this? Do tourque converters leak on these? What if I just kept topping it up?

Of course I think it's all fixable - the car looks great and drives great, and I have done a lot of work to it. The question is how immitiate and serious this is, or if he is just trying to scare me.

Any advice would be appreciated....
