Could be ATF (automatic transmission fluid). Either way...probably isn't good.

If the Audi mechanic can't be positive as to what it is then call the service manager . It looks like the pink coolant that Audi uses. Get it fixed before you take the car.

Are there any original parts left on your car? I am sorry to hear that you're having so many issues with your car. I hope that this is your last repair so that you can enjoy your car for a change. If you don't have an extended warranty I'd say this is a good time to call AOA and demand to give it to you at no charge.

Yes, no kidding! by the time my manufactures warranty runs out, my car is going to have all new parts! which is a good thing....this dreamcar is slowly turning into a nightmare...but i am trying to stay positive and at least i don't have to pay for the repairs......
