An odd spot for a leak to appear

[zodman]

Discovered an odd spot for a leak to occur, doesn't appear to be motor oil, but could be brake fluid. anyone ever have a brake line fail? Or a leak in the area with the two pictures attached?

TIA

Hard to tell from the pics, but it could be axle grease. Check your CV boot, they have a tendency to crack open.

If not, it should be easy enough to tell if it's brake fluid. clean the wet areas and give the brakes a few pumps, see if anything fresh comes out of the lines or caliper.

I can't tell for sure what wheel we're looking at but if it's in the rear, you could be seeing oil blowback from a failed AOS or leaking valve cover.

Hi

Defiantly not grease. The leak is in the left (Drivers side/US) rear. AOS is on the other side and was replaced a few months ago. Am wondering if also it maybe a power steering leak.

Trying to navigate the articles for similar problems via search can be frustrating.
