those pics are so close I can't tell where anything is in relation to anything else. Take the belly pan off and then take pics.

I hope you don't have a front tranny seal failure............LIKE I DO :(

You need to take a pic further up, trace the red line to the source then take another pic.

well the first pic is below the passenger side cat, as you can see the exhaust right there. the others are basically right behind the axles.. think i'll run over to audi now. them bastards.

what is the color of that fluid (bright red, dark red, brown)? does it smell like oil or cat piss?

Wow in my 14 years experience with Audi I've never seen an oil leak that bad unless they left the oil filter loose.
