Default Strange leak coming from front wheel area 2WD
See attached photo, other side is completely dry.
I confirmed it is not from the caliper.
Could this be the grease seal on the wheel bearing?

It certainly appears to be coming from the wheel bearing.

It could be...my suggestion is to clean it all off with cleaner. Then check again after a few days - this may help to pinpoint it.

Thanks guys, I’m pretty sure it’s a defective wheel bearing assembly seal, just wanted to pin point so when I take it to the dealer. Truck is under warranty.

Dealer told me this is normal?
