    I posted this question in the MKV section but no one has answered yet so im trying here.

    This is possibly a dumb question, but here it goes. What color is the trans fluid? I am a VW noob. I know traditional fluid is redish pink. I'm not sure if VAG uses different color fluid. Reason I ask is I just recently had my mechatronics unit replaced and they changed the trans fluid filter at the same time. Before service the undercar was clear and dry. Now I have a small drip leak which looks as though it it coming from the trans area but the fluid is clear. Any suggestions that can help me out?
