Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

This is my guess as well - check the seal on the steering pump that's closest to that side...

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi guys, I'm about to do some needed maintenance on my car, Upon inspection I noticed what seems to be oil/grease at the drivers front suspension.... seems to be originating around or above the lower suspension link/dog bone just behind the brake scoop. Any ideas? Is it grease from the suspension link boot? Does it warrant replacement? Any input is much appreciated. As a side note, the LN IMS solution was done recently and AOS, I'm flushing the brakes, coolant and installing a new water pump and possibly a new low temp thermostat. Thanks Shalil

It's a 02 Targa, rear wheel drive.

POST 6Original post

Brake fluid reservoir is on that side as well...

POST 7Original post

You need to touch it and smell it These are approximate: Coolant: pink colour and sweet smelling Power steering fluid: Pentosin CHF 11S - smells bad - green Brake fluid - clear, corrosive - smells like... brake fluid?

POST 8Original post

Agree with people that you should feel and smell it. Given the location, I suspect it is grease from the ball joint boot. Then again it could be something else, theres a lot of discoloration on the control arm. Grease will have a distinctive feel and odor from other fluids. The concern I have about leaking boots is that eventually contaminants get in and start to wear the metal ball joint, creating slop over time. I wouldn't panic about it, but it is worth addressing when you can.

Bingo! This is my guess as well - check the seal on the steering pump that's closest to that side...
