2.7T - Oil leak @6300 miles

I developed an oil leak, what looks like about a few drops per day. I will take it to the dealer soon, but wanted to know if anyone else has had this problem. I posted this problem about a few weeks ago, but now I have pictures.

Thanks,
Leonard

Is it concentrated on passenger side of the pan ? From what I can see

in the Audi Source book ( not super detailed ), there is a liquid filled motor mount and a pipe ( power steering? ). If it originates on the driver side, the oil filter is suspect. Of course the leak could come from higher up and be flung about by the serpentine belt....

Is it motor oil or gear oil?

I had a trans oil leak (6 sp.) at 3000 mi. It was leaking from the fill plug.
Dealer pulled plug and resealed. All OK.

Mine had a ATF leak at 2200 miles from a fitting for the trans cooler. It took longer to get the pan off and back on than it did to fix the leak.

No problem since.
