Default 2004 CTT transmission fluid leak identification

This leak ran my fluid low enough to need a tow. Added more fluid to try to identify the source.

Photo of leak location:


​​​​​​Looks like I definitely need a new transmission gasket but something seems to be leaking higher up above the transmission mount. Hoping to get the right parts on order and better plan my attack.

Anyone seen this before or have a best guess? Am I going to have to drop the transmission?

Have the coolant pipes been replaced?

If so maybe the previous owner had a pipe failure.

A pipe leak results in antifreeze seeping into the transmission destroying the AT torque converter seal.

Thank you for weighing in. Car has 200k miles so I would think coolant troubles are long in the past. I think this is also the opposite side as the torque converter, no? But the car was jacked in the front so it could be gravity bringing ATF from the torque converter seal?
