can transmission leak ATF?

I just want to make sure that my trany will not be toasted...

Well, this winter i had the famous squeek on cold mornings, and the PS ATF turned out to be low so i topped it up and the squeek is gone.

Now i noticed ATF leak on the metallic plate under the front of the engine, and the PS ATF has decreased a little (around a couple of centimeters) and it is on the right side (seems under the ATF reservoir)... so basically i have PS ATF Leak, but i am afraid that this leak is from the transmission, because it's also ATF (duuuhhh) So can it be transmission? does tranny leak in the first place? and if yes, can it leak from the front side of the engine?

ps: it is not dripping on the floor, i can only see a drop hanging there and the plate is stained...

I am going soon to the dealer, but i want to take this off my chest, can it be transmission? PS is relatively simple...
