You need to find out where YOUR car is leaking so you know what it needs. Drive up on ramps and clean the bottom of the transmission thoroughly and see where it comes out. You can also put paper under the car (while it is raised so you can look underneath) and then follow the drips back up.
Common leak spots are
Axle seals -- easy fix, same as a manual
Cooler lines (from transmission to radiator)-- usually easy fix.
Input shaft seal (ATF will come out the bottom of the flywheel housing between the transmission and engine) -- transmission must be removed to fix.
When topping up the transmission, NEVER use generic ATF. Special Honda ATF (typically from a dealer) must be used or transmission problems will soon occur.
