You need to put your car on a lift and see exactly where the leak is coming from.
Wipe clean the bottom of your transmission use a degreaser and some shop rags so you can see what kind of leak you have and where its leaking at, I assume it is an automatic.
Is it a pan gasket, a seal or a cracked case.
I would take it to a transmission shop and
have them fix it or replace it. If it is a pan gasket you probably can do it yourself if your are up to it, depending on your skill set level, Youtube can help guide you if you decide to go that route.
Whatever you do please do not use any diy tranny sealant that you put in your transmission, it’ll gum up the internal gears, belts, ports and could ruin your transmission, if it’s just a pan gasket leak.
If its a seal a tranny shop can rebuild it or a crack case your tranny needs to be replaced with a rebuilt tranny or a certified salvaged tranny.

CHECK TO SEE IF YOUR TRANSMISSION PAN GASKET IS LEAKING/IF NOT CHECK ALL HOSES AND LINES/IF NOT REPLACE YOUR REAR MAIN SEAL.

This is going to be either a programing issue in the transmission control module or an main control valve body concern. This vehicle is under warranty for 48 months or 50000 miles so I would have my local dealer take a look at it.
Ford has a new techincal service bulletin out on a concern similar to what you are describing. It states that if vehicle has less then 20000 miles to reprogram the PCM and TCM, if it has over 20000 miles they recommend to replace the main conrol valve body. The TSB number is 08-24-01

It could be a leaking trans pan, output shaft seal,or bad rack & pinion.
