First off, don't put in more transmission fluid if the level is already good. You can do a lot of damage to a transmission by overfilling it. From what you described in your previous post, you have checked the fluid level, and it looked fine. So don't put more fluid into an already filled up transmission.
If the transmission does need fluid, get Type F, and pour a small amount into the same tube that holds the dipstick (the thing you check the fluid level with). Then start the car, put it into gear, drive around a bit, then check it again.
If I were you, I really wouldn't worry about this very much. It sounds like you have a drip or two every day, and the dipstick shows the right level. There is a lot of extra capacity built into these transmissions, so they can run even when you can't see any fluid on the dipstick. That's how engineers think (take it from me... I am one).
My advice would be not to mess with it, bring it to a good mechanic as recommended on the Mechanics List on this site, and let he/she correct the leak.
