Got a leak outta one of my axle seals

So. I just did a clutch install, and I guess the garter on the axle seal popped off cause it's leaking fluid outta there pretty bad(found this out the hard way after pouring $50 of redline on the floor ). Well, I'm about fed up with working on my car, so I'm planning on just taking it by this tranny shop that owes me money, but I don't wanna use another one of my AAA free tows. The fluid level is on the dipstick right at the L mark. Can I drive it to the tranny shop?

How easily is the fluid leaking? How far is the tranny shop?

I'd be safe and tow it.
