Default Espresso Look oil leak! 2004 A8 3.0

Hi all,
today i notice a strange oil leak , it looks like espresso, i know it is funny but really more like espresso coffee with little milk. It is located in the front left side behind the tire.

Any idea!

front left side being the driver side USA? that where the coolant expansion tank is so check the coolant for oil and check the oil for coolant ( when mixed they look like mayonnaise/coffee which means head gasket

Thanks Dave , you confirmed it to me, yesterday i opened the coolant tank and it was mixed with oil as you said. I also noticed some leak from the head.

How big is the problem cuz i will take it to the agency and kick their .... , they just did MAJOR checkup 2 months ago.

thanks again

Hi all,
I thought maybe i should post a message here to explain what was the problem.

Basicly, the dealer told me, it was the transmission cooler. the total work cost is around $850.

Regards,
