Default First real issue... Help please

I was working on my 07 audi a6 3.2 and i disconnected the trans cooler.. oil drip everywhere..

Moved the car a little bit out of the garage and now it sounds weird.

I know is because of the oil so i shut it down right away..

I read bunch of threads and they say the ATF fluid can be several colors.. is there another way to find out what atf fluid color wise i need beside taking out the refill plug and put a stick in there?

Also, does anybody know if pentosin makes any atf for our vehicles?

I read other threads talking about some funky ford atf fluid but dont really trust that..

Any help ill really appreciated...

In need of a lot of help..

thanks

from other posts:
"The G055 005 A2 bottle has golden color fluid inside.
The G055 162 A2 bottle has blue color fluid inside.
Audi A6 C6 with O9L transmission Model year 2005-2007 use ATF p/n G 055 005 A2. Model year 2008 and up will use ATF p/n G 055 162 A2. If you drain transmission fluid G 055 005 A2, you can refill with G 055 162 A2 but not the other way around."
I have G055 005 A2 bottle in from of me and it has brownish colored fluid.

I think the most reliable way to tell what fluid to add is by the transmission software version. You can read it from the VAG-COM (see attached). verion 0010 means G055 005 A2 fluid. version 0020 and up means G055 162 A2 fluid.
