Default Transmission Fluid on floor

Backing out of the Garage with the 1999 C5 with Automatic there was a very faint trail of Automatic Trans Fluid. It was around a 12" path, and then there was small drips, maybe 4-5 until I put in Drive and went for a short drive. I cleaned it up and backed it out again and nothing leaked. Jacking it up I cannot find anything noticeable. The car was sitting for a week, so the question is should I be concerned and what caused it to happen in the first place. It has not happened before.

did you also check the trans cooler lines at the radiator or just the trans itself in the back of the car?

Checked all lines and no trace of fluid so thinking the small hole between the rear axle and Transmission. Maybe just now starting to develop a seal leak, lucky me
