Hi, my car is dripping fuel from underneath.
the dripping is coming from something connected to the fuel tank like it's been constructed to do so. It is in the middle of the tank and dripping little drops. No it's not been broken, the thing is just in the middle of the tank, not connected to any thing, very small and dripping. What is that? Is this normal? Thank you.

Hello and welcome to 2CarPros. I'm having trouble finding any information on the fuel tank for your car. Generally, fuel tanks aren't supposed to leak. At all. Since the car is a 2018 model, it should be covered under warranty. I would start with taking it to the local Audi dealership and let them figure it out.

Also, if you want, you can take a few pictures and post them here. That may help me shed some light here.

I have never seen anything like that. Let me bring in some of the other experts to see if they can shed some light on this.

To me, that looks like some sort of condensation drain, but that's just a guess.

Yeah that is too far back to be the gas tank. Check the spare tire area for water. Maybe the sunroof drains run through there?
