The front is most likely a leak at the bearing retainer. If I am not mistaken the Richmond uses some form of planetary system for their overdrive in the rear? On most transmission it is not a big deal. Remove the tranny and replace the seal/gasket on the retainer. On the rear, pull off the tail, which mates with the main case, and replace that gasket. On most transmissions (Toploader/Muncie/Warner T-10) the tranny doesn't have to come apart from the standpoint of removing any gearing, main shaft bearings, etc. as the problems are located outside the main case, although there is a small issue on the Muncie/Warner T-10 regarding reverse gear being located in the tail---but even then, it is not a big deal. It is a half hour job, at most.
The middle leak may be from the shift cover that your transmission forks are attached to. Again, it is an easy fix and requires no major disassembly.
