is it hydraulic grease from the cv joint or is the diff/tranny leaking oil?
be a lil more specific, my passenger side front axle is slinging grease cause the boot is torn, was told its better to replace the axle than try to fix it, next time i drive to my dads were gonna replace it. you might have the same problem i do.

If its thick grease, its the CV joint. Could also be oil coming down the tranny case from a bad distributor seal or brake fluid from the slave cylinder.

since the gear shifting fluid and oil are the same color idk which one it is and i put it in the garage, put a cardboard piece under the leak and guess what NO LEAK, its odd, i guess it decides when to leak

maybe it leaks when the car is running or turning. just check what type of leakage it is and that should narrow it to one problem. check your cv for cracks or splits
