In your case that failed heat shield may be the cause of the weeping you are seeing. The point of that shield is too shield heat created by the exhaust nearby. If heat has been beating up your trans from both sides because of the exhaust piping, this might have prematurely dried out your gaskets? Just an idea though.
My DCT has been missing that cover since I bought it last year. Is this the part?

Yes. It's not for impact protection, just heat deflection.
