My A6 did that from day one. Old geezer salesman told me the stuff slinging off the belt was belt dressing they put on at the factory. I was only 18 at the time.
Had the seal replaced 2 times after warranty lapsed (of course). It never did completely quit leaking....wasn't this about the time when the car buying public turned to Jap cars, en mass?
Your car is awesome! I'm not going the restoration route on mine, but will be similar...
