Dan,
 
I just had nearly the same thing in my '95 A6q.  my C-Pillar trim had  come 
undone and I noticed water dripping down from the roof area, so it was a  
pretty simple diagnosis.
 
The drain tube on my car exits behind the rear wheel and is hidden by the  
bumper cover.  If yours is similar, there is a soft rubber boot at the end  
of the drain tube that "pinches" to prevent insect from climbing up the 
drain  tube.  This is also where any dirt washed from above gets trapped.
 
I squeezed that pinch boot to open the drain hole and a bunch of muddy  
organic matter and water flowed through.  
 
I followed pretty much the same cleaning procedure for my AC drain tube  
earlier this summer.
