Alright guys i have been noticing this puddle of fluid all around my driver's side front tire and it looks like it could be coming from the axel im pretty sure it's gear oil but everytime i check the diff. fluid its seems to be full.....It happened a while back and then i changed the diff. fluid a couple of weeks ago and it just started this again any help or suggestions?!?!?!
Thanks in advance.......

gear oil has a smell that is hard to mistake......since fluid is checked with a finger there is a high chance a slight change is level will be missed untill it is vey low. check brake fluid also.

Sounds like driver's side axle seal could be leaking. Driver's side front brake caliper could be leaking, too. I actually get driver's side oil leakage out of my air intake filter after long road trips.

i would have thought so too... but mine went with no warning... slowed down cause a car turned in front of me and i guess it popped then... then sped up and got to the sign to slow down and it didnt... no Ebrake either.. had to down shift real fast like crazy tires barking and sliding all over the place... lol... it was a stop sign for a 4 lane highway too!
