Trans fluid leaking

I have an E4OD. I noticed a lot of dripping along the little aluminum? pipes from the transmission; the ones running parallel to the ground. Also wet in the around the exhaust in vicinity of the skid plate. After wiping it all down, I had my wife start the truck while I observed. To my relief, it does not look like a seal leak. The little pipe that screws into the transmission (pax side toward top) looks like the culprit. Where it bends and possibly touches the exhaust insulation or skirt is where it oozes. Anyone ever replace this pipe? Would JB Weld work? I never have luck with that stuff. Is there any sort of tape that would cover and seal (100mph tape??), or possibly an additive that would react with the air???

Most likely that is one of the trans cooler lines that most likely runs to the radiator. I would just replace the line front to back.

If that is the case, would I have to drain the transmission?
