sure, leaks are common.  Could be front seal, pistons seal, kickdown solenoid seal..any manner of seals really!

Time on the lift should give a fairly clear indication esp when leaking @ such a rapid level!

  Hi
  I got a leak from the gearbox, the last few months there has some noise, and
  last week I discovered that the fluid in the gearbox was so low it didn't
  even show on the stick. I have since then put in 4 x 500ml, and it is empty
  again, have only driven about 250 km.
  I have not had a look underneath yet, is it something I could change or does
  it has to be at a workshop. The car has 8 km left to 200.000 km.
