For what I see, apparently it is a tranny gasket leak since you have fluid coming down from and upward position.

Iv seen this happen even when a sump bolt has not had the gasket replaced. So the fluid ends up being in a large location under the vehicle.

The other thing could be the gasket has failed and the box will need to taken apart, cleaned and re apply the Honda bond/liquid gasket or similiar seleant.

I would try the sump washer first, clean it all up with brake cleaner and inspect in a week or 2 time. This would be the cheaper option

Funny thing, I completely over estimated the leak, once I got the car lifted I realized my cv axles and seals were fine but the trans drain bolt was loose because the previous owner was an idiot, it’s not leaking anymore thank god I caught that instead of taking it in assuming my trans seals were bad
