Hmmn, they sound confused. I'd seriously recommend a second opinion.
Misdiagnosis? They can't tell the difference in transmission fluid or engine oil? I guess they aren't as hardcore as we are, hell I taste to tell the difference if I can't smell the difference!
Their probably isn't a publication that directs such action in their library~

It is time to get your boxster out of their shop. And X2 on reporting your initial bill as fraud.

Politely tell them to reattach the tranny so you can remove your car from their premises. Don't let the tranny suggestion cloud the issue.
What have you worked out on the RMS / cam cover costs? Dealerships make mistakes but they should be offering something for their misdiagnosis. As others have said, there should be a refund of the cam cover cost or a parts only RMS repair. Something.
God forbid your car is still leaking, it would behoove you to get under it and locate the area that's leaking. Cam cover issues would most likely spill oil down the side of your engine. An RMS failure would leak at the bottom center of your engine where the block and trans connect. Depending on what the problem is, the leak would be in a distinct location. When you said it was leaking on your exhaust, did you mean the headers rather than the muffler? That would indicate cam covers, not RMS.
I hope things turn out well for you. Be civil but firm with them.
