Yeash! Blob's'o'Grease

Tomorrow I leave on a 7,000 mile trip in the Cayenne. Put the back seats down so I can fit all the "necessary - absolutely necessary" stuff in, and then notice a blob of grease on the trim below the door (Titanium edition, so I have the extra flare there..) Get a dirty rag, wipe it off - it's pretty obviously some sort of moly grease. Close the door, notice a few more blobs, by the pattern they were tossed up by the front tire.

Ohhhhh... immediate thought is a bad CV joint boot. So - I start it up, turn the wheel all the way to the left, go take a look. Boot looks brand new (parts tags are still on the axles). Turn it all the way to the right - look at the other side - perfect. Feel all around it.. my hand comes off dusty but no grease. Look at the fender liner - no grease. Look at the wheel spindles (which the boot/joint go through) - no grease. It's NOT my grease - it's someone elses.

Whew.

Wish people wouldn't leave blobs of grease on the road.. it's enough to give one palpitations. :P
