Hey guys, I have a 1.8t Avant (Like the title stated) and coolant seems to be dripping constantly. I cant figure out where its coming from but I always see it on the street when I move my car. I've already replaced the coolant temp sensor and I don't know what else to do, if anyone has any ideas they would be much appreciated.

I'm guessing that you replaced the coolant temp sensor because you think the leak was at the back of the engine. If you don't see any pink crusty stuff anywhere in front of the engine. Then it's probably the rear coolant flange (the plastic piece that you plugged the coolant temp sensor into). The piece can leak at the seal between the the flange and engine block. New OEM flange is pretty cheap ($20 or so).
There are a few DIYs online. It's an annoying repair but definetly DIY.
Drain coolant at radiator, make the repairs, fill coolant and bleed is the gist of it.
