Default transmission fluid leak...

i was about to drive from philly to atlantic city today
i stopped by a texaco near my home to fill up
and i noticed red fluid leaking out the bottom of my car
i bought a bottle of tranny fluid from texaco
filled it back up to normal level
and drove back to my friends house
we took my friends car and i left mine at her house
when we come back i check if it is still leaking
and it looked like it stopped...
i drove it home (5 min drive) and checked again and no leak
is it a bad idea to drive it around tomorrow before having it checked out?
and should i take it to the dealership?

Default Curious, where exactly did you put that transmission fluid?

There is no way to fill the transmission from topside. You need special tools, and you do it from underneath.. What did you fill up?
