Transmission fluid leak

Transmission problem
2001 Lexus IS 300 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic 81000 miles

My Lexus IS300 the transmission fluid is leaking underneath the transmission pan. I went to PEPBOY to get a check up. The mechanic person told me that the transmission line fitting was where it leak. They unable to help me with that situation, but told me to go to a transmission shop or to LEXUS dealer. Is there a way that i could fix the problem by myself?. Or can I use a sealing silicone from AUTOZONE, PEPBOYS, or any other parts store to seal that leaking?. Please let me know. I would be more than happy to appreciate you.

Hi there,

you will need to get this leak repaired correctly, those sealants wont do anything, i suggest that you get to a trans shop and get it attended to.
