Leaking transmission?

[Tracked]

Can anyone confirm what exactly might be leaking in this picture? It's not a steady drip but maybe a tablespoon total if fluid has leaked? Appears to be transmission fluid but can't be certain.

I had the vehicle up on ramps installing my Thermal exhaust when I saw some drops on the garage floor. I haven't seen any drops on the garage floor in the past so not sure if the leaking was occurring because the rear of the vehicle was raised whole I was working on it?

That connection has had some work done/attention given to it. That worm gear is not as it came from the factory. I would assume someone has had issues with this prior to you.

What year is your ST? Some MY2020's had transmission cooler leaks. That definitely looks like transmission fluid.

It's an early 2020 build so probably what I'm dealing with. If it doesn't leak too much more, is it OK to not drive it for 4 days and then drive it to the dealer?

If there's not that much oil and no drip on the floor, I'd probably drive it. Ask them to look at your catalytic converter downpipes too

Yeah almost looks like the worm clamp was tightened too much and is cutting into the hose?

Wanted to circle back to my thread in case others come across this same issue.

Dealer confirmed that it is the issue with leaking transmission coolers and is replacing under the power train warranty.
