A full rebuild (no sense pulling a high mileage CD4E only to replace the pump seal) is much more expensive than adding a quart every 1,000 miles ... or so ... depends ... how much oil are you loosing? Is it puddeling under the car at night? How oftern do you check/add fluid?
I hope you see where I'm going with this. As long as the trans is running good, I would simply keep an eye on the leak and keep adding fluid. When you are adding a quart or more within a month, then I would consider pulling it for a full rebuild IF you plan on keeping the car.
