Is this possibly the transmission cooler leaking? I have a 2020 and just noticed this oil that seems to be near transmission area. Has anyone gotten theirs replaced? I’m at 30k

Mine was leaking and the dealer caught it while I was in for and oil change. They ordered the part and called me when it came in. It came from that cooler on the drivers side of the trans right by the pan.

What did it end up being? I just noticed a leak on my transmission too. I kept seeing a little bit of red fluid on the heat shield after driving.

Looks like I'm experiencing the same thing. From what I can see, it's a common leak with these trans coolers.
