Noticed some dark gray spots on the left side starting at the rear of the front wheel well a few days ago. They are obviously air-born; on the lower areas all the way back to the rear bumper end. It was a little low on on power steering fluid but that is tranny fluid red so I discounted it but I d/k what it could be. Any ideas and has it happened to you?

may be brake fluid....check that and all other fluid tanks......also check radiator and headlight fluid....

 

Also be sure to check your traction fluid and aerodynamic fluid while you're checking the headlight fluid...

 

I would say brake fluid. My Cap blew off last month somehow and i did not notice it for a couple days and for some reason fluid got all over the front left fender and dried there. Was a pain to clean off. On top of that I could not locate the cap so I had to buy a new one from ford which cost me 20 dollars.

 

Thanks y'all. I of course, checked all fluid container and, caps. It seems to have stopped as I see no new spots but I still d/k what was causing this:o .

You may have run through some oil on the road and it may have gotten kicked up and spread by the wind.

 

tire shine. or a leaking from brake caliper?
