No, it is not normal for your C7 to have a leak when it is new. Are you sure it is not just A/C condensate?

Absolutely not normal to have ANY fluid other than water drops from the AC, as Tom noted. But how did you conclude it was transmission?
Both trans and coolant are pink now, so you can't go on color alone, for example.

Others have stated some fill/drain plugs are loose from factory. If it indeed is tranny fluid I'd start there since car is so new.

Well based on the color it could be either or. I'm going to take it in and have them look at it
Thank you
