Since you have had two leak, the rest most likely leak soon. There are two between the engine and trans. If it were me.... I'd pull the engine and replace them all .. That's the only way to go if you want to drive without worrying about it or getting stuck somewhere on the road.

JB Weld worked great on mine. I've used it on other cars in the past too. If used corectly (clean area, allow to cure) it will work just fine.
