was driving ( 2002 mk1 TT Quattro roadster 120k miles) tonight and decided to get into her a little bit. at about 4k rpm in second gear my ESP kicked on, i shifted to 3rd and had hardly any acceleration at all. RPM went up and my boost gauge still shows boost, but i have zero power. engine also started roaring as i continued to up the rpm's. just much louder under the hood. once i got home and pulled int he garage i noticed a clear liquid dripping down about 1/3 of the way back under the car. what did i break? clutch? turbo? I really dont want to take it in for diagnostics at the dealership, so any ideas/suggestions/answer are very much appreciated.

Check to see if it's brake/ clutch fluid. Should be red or orange.

You might have split the hydraulic line to the clutch . If it's inside the bell housing it could a blown slave cylinder. Usually when that happens though you can't engage gears at all. The clutch not engaging suggests the pressure plate broke.

If that's it you will need to pull the trans. Clutch , slave, pressure plate and dual mass flywheel. Not cheap.
