Tires and Wheels problem
2000 Dodge Dakota 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

I am noticing a leak that seems to be coming from the front drivers side wheel. At first I thought it was an oil leak but I can see a type of fluid around and on the wheel base on the drivers side but not on the passenger side.
Any ideas?

If its two wheel drive, the only fluid over there is brake fluid, and your caliper is probably leaking...check the brakes! Pull the dust boot back and see if fluid comes out. If yes, replace both calipers, the other possibilty is the flex hose. Inspect all lines and calipers.
