Diagnosis- Grease on inside of wheel

Alright, just did the Sunday cleaning of the automobile.

Lo and behold, I notice the inside of the wheel of has grease on it. Lots of grease. I am guessing a blown seal of some sort. There is no clicking when I turn the steering wheel or when I drive, wasnt there last weekend. It was getting dark so I had no time to really dive under there or take wheel off.

What do you think it is, what parts are needed and ( how much?

This sucks man.

check the cv joint it could have a rip in it. and you'll need to replace both to be on the safe side.

check your power steering pump too, if that was leaking there would be a huge mess under there, happened to me anyway.

it would only be under the front left wheel though, if not probably the cv joint.

most likely the outer CV boot. I just replaced my right-front axle rather than mess with repacking a new boot. Lazy I guess.
