Burn Through Question?

Do seeking Weapons (Drones, Plasma Torps, exc) Burn through like direct fire weapons? We have assumed yes but want clarification.

yes. Any volley that exceeds 10 points of damage will generate a burn through point.

See first sentence of (3C8):
If any volley (emphasis mine) consists of at least 10 points but does not penetrate a shield, score one ofthe points of this volley as internal damage using the Damage Allocation Chart (3D3) rather than scoring it on the shields.

And jut to add to that, remember:

(3A4) Volley Definition: A Volley consists of all of the damage from either: (1) all of the Seeking Weapons which strike a single shield during a single impulse or...

So if two drones strike the fresh #2 shield of a Fed Heavy Cruiser,you mark 23 boxes disabled, and roll for one internal damage point using the DAC (Rule 3D). Note, that this leaves the shield up (with one box remaining).
