Default "Leaky Butt" Tranny - Problem or nuisance?

Since moving to synthetic trans fluid I've had a leaking seal which is starting to get a little worse recently beginning to leave a red wet spot and a little film on the rear bumper. Doesn't appear to be a safety issue at this point and not loosing enough fluid to casue damage to the trans. Friend of mine followed me closely at the Glen and didn't notice anything on his windshield, etc.

Ive read all the threads on how to fix etc, but just curious how many of you have this problem and if you just live with it or if you think it's something that requires an immediate fix. I have two more events this year and would like to run them and fix in the off-season.

The guys at Phoenix told me this was fairly common and one of the reasons the C5Rs had the black rear-ends.

Thoughts? Thanks!

nuisance.
I got over the idea of a 100% drip free track car long ago.
