Exclamation HELP! oil leak!

Ever since i bought this car, I've noticed a few drops of oil when I pull the car out. Today i decided to take pics and post on here. After seeing what looks like to be coming from my transmission, I immediately got worried. My friend had an audi and he said this exact thing happened to him, but he didn't fix it in time.

Mine is an 04 A4 1.8T automatic Quattro

pics below

What should I do?!

seems like a output shaft seal leak... its just a little seal on the back... make sure you have tranny fluid tho... running wihtout tranny fluid could lead to a disaster..
