Default Just bought a 98 A6 Quattro

HI Guys, I am new to the forum but I have been lurking, searching and reading for a bit now lol. I just bought a project car for 800 bux. Before all, it has some issues. Some not too bad. At first the car was sitting for a good while. Last night it would not start so we got a new battery this morning and it started after we put some fuel in it. It was hesitant and rattling at first. We swapped out the oil and filter we also put some fresh plugs into it and now the car starts and hums like beaut! We put new power steering fluid and the steering feels good, no moaning and groaning from the gears. Now the transmission. The car shift nice and smooth. No kicks or hiccups. When we took it out for a test drive after all the replacements we noticed signs of dripping from both sides where the front axles are. NOT exactly the transmission itself( I hope) but its a redish/pink fluid. Is this repairable, like swapping out the axles and putting new seals? I wish I could get a picture for you guys so I could show you exactly where the oil is falling from. Also would replacing the fluid and filters help in a way and how do you guys feel about Transmission stop leak additives?

Thanks in advance for all the help and tips and advice!

Just did a bit more searching and found the info on the seal. Would anyone know if the one on the driverside would be the same seal?
