Lol, it was definitely some kind of oil, and not of a cat pee or soy sauce variety.

Oil change run off does seems like a stretch given the location on the rear rim. Plus the service was done 3k miles ago at the dealer.

So now I'm just left with checking the rim and fluids constantly since the dealership can't be bothered to do more than take the rim off and peak around.

Were you parked near anything that could have done it? Again, a stretch, but if Audi tech isn't finding anything (and they are paid handsomely to find issues) there probably isn't anything to fix...

I have to agree with this. No reason for the Audi service department not to fix something because they do get paid well for it. It's to their advantage to find something to fix.

I have never seen a catalytic converter leak fluid on a wheel.
