what "minor" problems could I be looking at, how big a hassle to replace seal/seals? Thanks

Before you start messing with the seals and everything try to get some ATF with Stop Leak. I have a leak in my Power Steering Fluid, but I put in some PS Fluid with Stop Leak and haven't had trouble since. If this works, it'll save you time, energy, and money. You can get it at Autozone or a parts store like that. It'll probably cost between $5-$10.

Have you put her up on ramps to see just where the leak is?

Could be the pan seal (easy), output shaft seal (not overly difficult), the o-ring(s) at the neutral safety switch (can be a pain), or any of the other seals internal and external. Might the tranny be over full?? That'll cause some dripping too.
