Any of these "fixes" are an episode of "snake oil" which may cause more
damage than good. Some of these fixes contain brake fluid which swells the
seals. But they could cause even more damage buy swelling the other seals
in the transmission.
I've seen this stuff before under various brand names, 50 cents worth of
chemical sold for $6 and up. I've never heard of any of it any good.
I would bite the bullet and fix the seal, just my opinion.

Subject: <VV> No Corvair - Auto Trans Leak Remedy

I have a 93 Explorer with a front transmission seal leak.  It will cost
$500 or a weekend on my back to fix.

Has anyone had good experience with auto transmission additives that claim
to swell seals and stop leaks such as this?

The truck has 115,000 miles and a V6.  The PO appears to have treated it
gently and the transmission functions well.
