mystery problem need help.
Today I noticed on my passenger side front Rim. I had a large amount of this slippery clear film on my rims. Literally dripping down the rims. My question is could this be brake fluid? Or something from Cv joint being cracked or something?
CV joints and wheel bearings have dark-colored grease in them. The only clear fluid in the area of your wheels is brake fluid. THIS IS BAD. Check the fluid level in your master cylinder, and if it is at all low get it to a mechanic right now, brake leaks are really bad news.
As soon as you get the problem fixed, take the rim off and scrub the hell out of it. Brake fluid is very corrosive and can eat paint.

take your wheel off and inspect every thing including the rubber brake line
and report back to us
