hey brian,
as far as the leak goes.... put some cardboard underneath the car, preferably white, an see if its a redish color then its probably ATF, brown could be engine oil or perhaps power steering fluid.
as far as the low atf fluid reading goes... did you take the car for a drive before taking the reading, IF NOT(assuming the engine was not at normal operating temp) then from what i've learned and read it is ok for the trans fluid to be low.(see the MB Service manual library, section 2710)
the haynes manual suggests that you take the car for a short trip(about 10 miles) do not turn the car off, and then park on level ground, and then check your atf fluid level.
good luck
