Oil leak! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I have a 2014 2ss/1le. I have some oil marks inside the front wheel well. It's not the brake caliper, seems to be coming from where there strut mounts at the top. Any ideas would be welcomed.

Did you run over anything? I’d think if it were the strut that you’d be able to tell from the harshness. If it’s more like grease it could be the hub assembly. Only other fluid in that area would be brake fluid (which you’ve ruled out) or possibly the engine mount, but I really can’t see how the fluid from those would find it’s way to your wheel well.

Oh, also washer fluid bottle is mounted inside the whee liner on the drivers side (you didn’t specify which side you’re seeing this)

This is on the passenger side of the car. Don't think I ran over anything. I don't have anything on the inside of the rim so that rules out the hub assembly. The ride is no different than when I bought it other than the usual Camaro clunk when I fully extended struts. This is just weird as hell.
