These cars do not have any issues with transmission leaks. You need to check real close and find the source of the leak and get it fixed. It's more common to have a power steering rack leak which does use transmission fluid.

So, check the fluid level in your transmission and power steering system. Checking the fluid level in the transmission is tricky so make sure you use the instructions in the owners manual.

How long have you owned the car?
