Hello,
I have a 2013 A5 2.0T, today I saw that my driver side front wheel had streaks of some blackish liquid in them. After removing the wheel, I found that the oil residue was worse on the inside part of the wheel and that it also had a green tint. I found more greenish oily liquid everywhere behind the brake rotors. I thought it was a power steering leak but i can‘t find a power steering reservoir on my car.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you

Good question dunno. But you godda start from the engine bay and search for any fluid leaks.

Could be the fluid inside the engine mount. For cars with dynamic chasis, the engine mounts have some type of magnetic fluid inside that eithers or softens based on the electricity provided. If your engine mounts have wires and an electrical connector, then you have rubber mounts with liquid inside.
