do you have a 5spd? if so then you can just take out the filler plug and fill it back up, I think the plug is on the side of the tranny facing the front of the car and it has space for a 1/2" ratchet or breaker bar to fit in, just fill it up until it starts to come out that hole and you are set.

Auto- drive the car around until its at hot opperating temperature and while the car is still running put it in neutral and pull the tranny dipstick to see if you are low or not. If low then just put a little at a time down the dipstick tube until its enough.

Im assuming that the hose that was leaking was one of the hoses that go into the fluid cooler inside the radiator right?
