Transmission Leak
Ill check mine again after the next oil change. It looks so clean under there! If these transmissions don't have a notable failure rate, I would think that if you don't see a puddle on the floor then just drive it and be happy. The stains do look like the weeping is coming from the bolts. The other half of the case where the gasket would be looks normal and I would expect it to be stained if the gasket seam was in play. Maybe its a design thing. Also try to find an independent Honda mechanic and have a chat. They may be able to share detail in a more frank way about your issue vs the dealer. How many miles did you drive it between when they cleaned up the case and rechecked it?
it could also be slightly porous aluminum case…
I noticed this related thread on Reddit, so link it here in case anyone finds it useful:

Update on my situation. After I hit the drain plug with a 1/4 turn more...no more wet down there. Sometimes I reuse the crush washers so I guess that messes with the torque needed for a tight seal. So I would suggest 1/4 turn more on your drain bolt and see what happens.
