Is this oil or DCT fluid

Could you please possibly send me a link to it?

My guess is oil filter housing gasket. They can leak pretty badly when they go and drip down to the front of the oil sump and then onto the floor. Best get under there and take a look.

I highly doubt it’s the oil filter housing gasket because I would smell the oil burning while driving.

Looks like oil. Check the front of the motor for leaks or oil build up on front of block behind pulley system. That much oil is either a pan issue or oil filter housing gasket leaking. Valve gaskets would be obvious for that much to be on the floor but I doubt those. I hope it's the oil filter housing as that is a $16 gasket and can be done yourself easily. It's a 4 hour job the first time but could be slimmed down to 2 hours. Good luck!

Mine leaked terribly until there was a puddle under my car. No smell.

Valve cover gasket was just recently replaced like 4K miles ago. I checked for leaks near the oil filter housing and it looked pretty dry to me but then again it’s pretty hard to get a good look at it due to it being tucked away behind pulleys

How badly was yours leaking? Did you have more oil than this on the ground?

I couldn't tell but again this is easy to check. I'd personally doubt its DCT fluid, then you have a major leak and at some point soon start to get error codes for that.
As a ref; attached i pick I took just the other day. The fluid look similar once used/coming out. (had my box replaced with new at 19k miles. This new box have 3k miles on it. And leaking....).

Cheers

Yes more than your oil puddle.
