Default Leak near tranny but also radiator fluid low??? 2001 A4TQ

I spotted a puddle located center passenger side as far back as the middle of the front tire. Was not water, was clear and slippery feeling. Took 24 hours to dry off my concrete driveway in 100 degree heat. No stain. Is there a radiator hose around there? Filled the radiator reservoir on Mon. by Fri. it was an "MIN" I looked under the car saw the drippings around the front of the transmission but can't tell where it's coming from.

Also, you might want to know that the heater only works sporatically. Core was replaced 6 months ago for same problem.

thanks,
Bruce

Default mre details

Most of the fluid looks lke it is on a grooved piece located next to the transmission oil pan. Some of the dried fluid left a chalky like film.

Hope this helps one of you guys with a solution or cause.

Thanks again.
