Transmission Fluid Leak....

Just got back from Mike Shaw Saab in Denver. I was told that my '00 9-5 lpt 5-speed manual wagon is leaking transmission fluid at "numerous" seals. The estimate to replace these seals was in excess of $2K (dude told me they needed to remove the transmission to replace the seals and that's why it was soooooooo expensive). I was told that they knew it was leaking b/c they could see fluid on their finger after they touched the seals. What gives? Is this a service I need or can I just periodically check the transmission fluid level and add a little when needed? What about the price?
Also, they charged me $60 in labor to replace the air filter and charged me $50 for a new filter. That seems obscene. Thoughts on that?
