Default oil leak??

i have an 01 a4 1.8 5 speed. and i cant tell if i am leaking oil or tranny fluid. it seems to be leaking around the area of the back part of the belly pan. whenever i try to look where exactly it is coming from it wont leak but when i dont look it will. the fluid seems to thin and not dark enough to be oil. and it seems to far back in the motor thats why i was thinking tranny? i have checked the oil and it doesnt seem to be going down at all really. but does any one have any ideas?

youand 01afour drive me nuts. His sn says 01 and he has a 99.5 and you say you have a 01 and then 98 in your sig [:@]

But anyways, with a 01, its most likely the cam tensioner gasket. Its in the back of the engine and leaks where you are talking about. Stick your head back there and see.
