Sudden, Major Auto Transmission leak

Friday, as part of a winterizing campaign on my '88 SAAB 900 CVT,
I put a can of K&W Transmission seal conditioner in the transmission
and drove to work to give it a chance to "work."
The car has a leak somewhere on a seal high up on the engine.
It drips fluid after being driven, but not while it is sitting.
I was trying to seal this leak because it was a nuiscance.
By the time I got to work, the transmission was literally bleeding
fluid. On the trip home, I stopped and got a half-dozen containers
of transmission fluid and started driving. I went through four of the containers in about ten miles when I decided to pull over and call it quits for the day.
I can't believe a seal was blown, so I am going back to the SAAB looking to see if there is a hose that came loose somewhere (the car was just worked on having the radiator fans replaced a week ago. I also had to replace one of the smallcoolant hose/part on the driver side.
I am looking for something I can add to the transmission fluid that will help me limp to M&M Services (15 miles) for servicing on Monday.
Other than a diaper, any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Frank
