Hi all, I just bought a c5 rs6, there is what looks like TRANS fluid. Leaking from the n/side front, I thought it was p/s fluid but the level is not dropping, could it be gearbox oil leaking from the cooler, what warning lights would show for low level gearbox oil?

It's dripping off the bottom n/s corner of the radiator, I've only just got the car so I haven't had time to look, but I doubt I will see much without removing some hard ware, I just wanted to know if they are fitted with a gearbox oil cooler as that's the only way trans fluid from the box could get there. If there's no cooler then it must be p/s fluid, if it is, I might sleep tonight!!
