Hello all Iam new to the community but I’ve owned a ST for 2 years now and my local dealer just did its 3rd warranty job on it. Transmission temp sensor and internal transmission harness, so they replaced the sensor, harness, filter and gasket. Now I found this consistent drip, I’ll definitely be taking it back in if it doesn’t self cure . Can anyone suggest as to what part this is and why would it fail? It looks like a lil push pin thing but idk. It sits on the passenger side of the transmission. Thank yall for your time and future responses!

Looks like part of a heat shield, Oil pan gasket leaking?

Yea i'd suspect the pan/gasket , but see if you can follow where the drip ran from. It should be obvious if the pan is leaking right behind that heat shield tab.
