Ok Guys, im back....

I just did the test of turning the wheels all the way to the sides and holding it there... while i was doing that, i checked under the car for leaks, and was leaking!!!

I took some pics, I cleaned the hose after the first leak, did it again and it was stained from the red marks I made on the pic...

Just one thing thou, arent those hoses connected to the radiator???? could it explain the sudden burst of oil?

 

Im not sure about those lines... Anyway you can get a wider angle/further out pic taken? Where do those lines run to?

 

From memory, sure looks like power steering hoses, and fluid.

 

definitely a PS hose and check your rack to see if there is a leak. PS racks are pretty common problems. I had mine replaced at 60,000. Car came back with two dings in the door, but thats a different story. And if you have different fluid than the mineral based fluid from factory, then chances are the rack was already replaced. My audi came with the CLEAR mineral fluid. Hope this helps.

 

Yeah, I will take a pic and post it here right away.....

possibly a loose clamp but this is the area you need to look at

And also thanks to everyone who helped with their info, at this point I know its a bad hose, so I will look for the nearest european car shop to have them fix it....
