Oil on wheels

[keeper]

Was cleaning the car at the weekend and found this on the passengers side wheel and the rear drivers side . In the flesh it looked like oil any ideas .

i failed mot because of something like this. The gaiter on the drive shaft cv joint had come loose and was causing grease to spry onto the wheels, maybe worth having a look?

CV boot, on the front anyway?

 

[Steve]

Take wheel off & look on inside.

Some of that tyre shine s**t does that

Id put my money on the cv boot mate...

 

[pinky]

cv boot..or what about break fluid?

hmmm, actually, after reading it properly...lol. Wouldnt say cv boot unless was the front wheels and it was like grease (smear) if its on both front and rear then id say theres a good chance it will be tyre shine or something! be very unlucky to have brake fluid on two wheels!

Could always be dog piss:rasp:
