Default Possible oil leak in my new s5 cab

I took delivery of 2013 S5 cab late January. A couple weeks later I noticed oil or something that looks like oil on my garage floor. It is in between the front tires closer to the passenger side. I took it into the dealer, they looked at it and found nothing. The leaking has continued so today I brought it in with pictures and a sample of the fluid. The car had only 600 miles when I brought it in initially, and now has 1200 miles and is only 5 weeks old! I love the car but a little bummed that it has a leak most likely since new.

It's oli.
Check the back about 3/4 to the rear. I have seen the ADS leak sometimes. If you cant see it take it to a tire place and have them look or better ask if you can look. Give the guy a 20. Sometimes your eyes are better.

Thanks! I got the car back today, they said it was a leak in a spot weld in the oil pan. They replaced the oil pan. Hopefully that is it!!
