2020 CX-5 2.5L T Questions

Good Day,
I remove the bottom plastic splash cover under my CX-5 with only 10k miles and noticed this small black plastic cover that was slightly wet with fluid. I removed the small black plastic cover that's clipped on and looked inside the opening and I could see the flywheel. Does this black plastic cover serve a purpose?
And is it normal for this area to have a small amount of fluid?
I found the transmission fluid dip stick by removing the air box. Do I need to have the car warmed up and running while I check the trans. fluid with the top portion of the air box installed?
See attached pics
Thanks

Thank you for replying to my post.
So I guess I need to leave the top portion of the air filter box connected including the MAF sensor harness while the engine is idling, correct?

Yes pretty much.
Also its good the maf to always be connected otherwise it may trigger temp errors in the computer.
