There are several possible causes of a automatic Transmission Fluid leak in a 1993 Mazda 323. One of the more common causes is the transmission front pump seal. If it has never been changed, it's about the age now where the seal has worn, shrunk, and lost it's sealing capacity to keep fluid in the transmission. The transmission front pump seal in this particular vehicle is unique in that is is a relatively large seal (almost looks like an engine rear main seal). Another possibility is the CV drive axle seal. There are two of those, one on each side (left and right) of the transaxle (transmission). Similar to the front pump seal, the drive axle seals also deteriorate over time, allowing fluid to seep out. Finally, there's the automatic transmission pan gasket. Although this gasket usually doesn't spontaneously develop a leak, it's a possibility if the gasket was replaced recently and perhaps a bolt or two were overtightened, causing the gasket to crack.
