Default oil cooler lines fluid source

1998, A4 1.8t Quattro with Tiptronic Tranny.

I managed to lose about a quart of fluid from the oil cooler lines that attach to the passenger side of the radiator while disconnected.

Am I correct in assuming this oil/fluid is just engine oil and I just need to top off the oil, or is from someplace else???

Default Trans fluid

Break out your vag-com and refill the trans. Don't drive it until you do.

Default That is transmission fluid. Check the FAQ section for how to fill

it's not as straight forward as filling engine oil. It requires the use of VAG-COM
