Oil pan is the obvious target, being down on the bottom of the engine.  You gotta look at it.  A hit like that will leave a mark so there should be no doubt about what needs to be replaced.
 
I assume engine oil is going low because of it all leaking out?
 
ATF is reddish, but not real strong bright red.
 
Anti-freeze smells so much different than oil so you'd know that.
 
Power steering fluid is up there too, there's a cooler that looks like a loop of tube in front of the radiator.
 
AC refrigerant is under pressure & it leaks out like a cloud of vapor.

My friend cracked open his A4 oil pan and I welded it for him. It's made out of aluminum so you'll have to find someone who can weld that, it might be cheaper than replacing the pan, not sure.
