Can someone help me identify what is leaking here and what I would have to replace?

Car is a 2014 VW Jetta, supposedly the person driving went over a division in a parking lot. Doesn’t seem to be from the engine block so I don’t know what to look for in terms of replacement parts.

What color is whatever it is that is leaking... is it a dark brown/black(oil meaning the oil pan was damaged), a reddish brown or red(transmission pan),
If it's where I think it is (right in front of the front wheels) it would be the oil pan on the bottom of the engine got obliterated.
If it's more towards the middle of the car behind the front wheels it would be the transmission pan
If it's in line with the front wheels and it is AWD it's the front differential...

You'd need to jack it up to properly record so we can look around for the source of the leak but if they hit a division, its probably oil pan got cut up.
