I am curious to know if the leak is originating from that connection in the hose, from higher up the hose, or from the pan gasket. Perhaps you could wrap something (heat wrap of some sort) around the hose there and check it later to determine if it is dripping from there or originating from higher up the line.
Had a similar looking leak which turned out to be the side gasket. Repaired under warranty but the DCT had to be removed and they estimated it was a $1500.00 job.
