I've got so many leaks, my leaks have leaks.

1.  Tranny fluid:  I recently changed the filter, the seal around the tranny pan, and the o-ring around the filler, hoping that some or all of these fixes would prevent more red puddles.  No Dice.
2.  Motor Oil:  I have motor oil seeping from seemingly everywhere, most notably at the valve head cover, driver's side, after I opened it once.  I was surprised to see any oil from there when I opened it.  Is that normal?  As for the leak, I'd expect that if I re-seat the head cover it should go away, yes?
3.  More tranny fluid:  I've got a leak in the power steering system and I'm thinking various hoses have given up.

Advice on any of these issues is most appreciated.
