Before you worry find out which liquid this is.
Options:
*engine oil (dark brown, greasy)
*tranny oil (light/yellowish, or red, less greasy)
a known reason can be a bushing for certain control cables into the transmission housing which can be displaced and leak.
*Cooling fluid (greenish, blueish, tasts sweet, don't swallow just lick!!)
*brake fluid (light yellow)
*windshield washer fluid (compare with container content)
*rabbit or deer blood (red) :-)

You might need to get under your car and inspect. It's kinda hard to tell which fluid is leaking just by color on the ground especially if the tranny fluid has never been changed. Jack the car, remove the brush cover and inspect.
