leaking transmissions, oil burning motors...i thought i was doing the right thing by selling my IX MR. Maybe I jumped the gun. 176,000 miles, zero issues, now this car with 1000 miles has all these future headaches waiting for me?

I haven't witnessed it, so I can't say.
I read it in a TSB posted under mitsubishiparts.net's section. It may only apply to 2008 and earlier? As far as the housing, yah it sucks, but things happen with new transmissions. Why it was changed is beyond me. Just keep an eye for fluid, if you don't see any you should be good
. Really nothing to worry about. And if your engine is burning oil, go back to 
and demand they fix it. Like I said, I never had an issue, even at the track.

So back on topic lol.
So the fluid seams to be coming from the filter housing? Just replacing it will fix the issue?
One more thing to check this weekend...

Make sure you go to a good dealer to have the TC-SST looked at. After I had my leak fixed I started getting the transmission over heating warning and gears slipping. I took it to another dealer because I had nothing but problems with the other one and this new dealer wont even touch my transmission because they said the other dealer probably screwed something up (over filling/underfilling etc.). and since its a return repair theyd have to bite the cost on it so now I have to go back to the ****ty dealer to have them figure out and fix whatever the problem is. So be careful where you go!
