Probably too late for the OP but same issue with my 2012 here... I was surprised as hell that a trans pan rusted through, never happened before in my life.
Bought a pan off eBay with the drain plug - First install it leaked around the gasket. Very disappointing - thin metal. Pulled it and checked flatness and corrected the flatness. Second install with more high temp silicon on gasket and vary careful to pull torque evenly...
Also got the universal dipstick which really wasn't too accurate. Added like 6 quarts, had a bit of slipping especially around corners so added a half quart at a time until it was reliable. Maybe an extra 1 1/2 quarts.
Running fine now 15k miles and a year later.

What are the other ways to check the fluid level?
Since this thing would not move, I made the assumption almost all of the ATF had leaked out. I added one quart at a time and checked to see if it would move after each one. When I got to 6 quarts, it would move forward, but not in reverse.
And after sitting over night, there is no indication of a leak. Its really baffling.
Thanks for any advice.
I got a universal trans dip stick off amazon for cheap. Does the job. My pan is rotted with a leak, was slightly low on the dip reading. Which is prolly right. replacing pan soon
