While the trans pan is down, it's relatively easy to inspect the trans sleeve leak and change the sleeve, if necessary. Trans pan+filter, gasket come as a kit, get that. Use proper fluid, not any off the shelf trans fluid.
As for valve cover gasket, if applicable, change the valvetronic motor gasket [that is mounted in the valve cover] as well as the valvetronic sensor gasket.
