Default Leak Driving Me Nuts

So I have a leak. I say leak because it's not Oil, it's not water and its driving me insane.

IT doesn't smell like Axle Grease, nor ATF, however it has a slight pinkish redish tint. The leak shows everytime I park.

My car is a 1.8t A4 Avant, Quat. Triptonic AT.

I have tried to pinpoint the leak and it seems as if it is infront of the Trans Pan right near the bottom label on trans "Getreabege" <- I believe is what it says without going out and looking right at the moment.. A brief history I recently purchased the car and have changed the following as preventive maintance.

Cam Chain Tensioner Seal and Half Moon
Valve Cover Casket
Front Cam Seals, Timing Belts, and Front Belts etc..

Turbo is not leaking, no engine sludge no leaks of oil not even 1/4 pint.. Engine oil level stays perfect.

Now the leak I am having is odd, if I put the car on ramps, It wont leak for me, if I park the car level it will leave a MasonJar Lid size puddle. this is sure fire everytime I park it..

The kicker is, trans appears to be new from what I can tell as the car was very well maintained from an older couple..

So my question is, anyone got any insight to this? I was thinking maybe the Differential but like I said its hard for me to be certain.. Only thing certain is its not engine oil..

TLR Leak in front of trans pan, no engine oil, unsure if axel grease / ATF. Looking for thoughts.

In advance thanks for the help, and Hello to all im new to forum

2000 A4 B5 Avant 1.8T, Loaded, Cold Weather Package S4 Suspension.

Coolant (Antifreeze) leak? It's pink and happens to a lot of people. Check if your coolant levels are low. Could be a leaking Coolant Temperature Sensor.
