If it's oily it's oil, hydraulic fluid, or it could be tranny fluid.

Brown kinda msells like stinky stuff. I just bought the car from the Pre-owened lot at the Audi delership 2 months ago, so it's probably the oil the delear used. I dunn its not A/C, A/C water is over by the passenger side tire this is back and more to the elft as if it was from the center of the car. I dunno possibly tranny or hyro. fluid's are those brown as well? Thanks everyone!

most fluids will look brown.

You could always take the belly pan off and try to follow the oil trail. That's easier said than done, though. Sometimes you get lucky, though. For all I know, your drain plug might be leaking, and that would be an easy fix. ;-)

I think you should check your power steering fluid reservoir and hoses. Run your fingers along and under the hoses to see if they are wet with hydraulic fluid. Those hoses have often loose clamps.

if its sweet then its coolent very dirty coolent. check to see how dirty your coolent is and if it matches. sounds weird to tast it but if you tast every fluid of your car then you will always now whats leaking. dont make fun of me it works.

Are there any other side effects than bad spelling? ;-)
