Oil leak?!

I was driving home from the desert last weekend, stopped at a liquor store for more "man soda" and I noticed there was some oil in my drivers side wheel well, front body mount and all over my tire...My oil level is fine, nothing is overheating or anything. Any idea on where this could be coming from?! Thanks brosephs!

Are you sure it's oil? That's where the radiators uually spring a leak.

You probably just ran over some oil in the road.

Axle seal at the knuckle if it's a straight axle. Could even be break fluid, might want to check the level on both of them.

Are you %100 sure its motor oil? I'm assuming you popped the hood and gave it a really close visual. I don't see how engine oil could get on your tire...Axle seal seems likely. 6.4's will spring coolant leaks all day but it would be hard to mistake the two

I'm pretty sure it was oil. I ran my finger through it and it was oily.
