From the looks of it your tranny pan is leaking ATF onto your tranny mount causing it to swell.

The mount is like 25-30$
The pan gasket is like $14
4-5 qts of ATF $35
2 hours of your time

If that is going to hurt your wallet you can wait.
But if it was my ride I would fix it. But hey I'm a mechanic.
