I noticed some drips on my garage floor this morning. There are some spots in front of my drivers side wheel and some behind and both the front and rear wheel wells seem to be coated with it. Any idea what/where to check first?

I hear when the CV boot leaks on the drive shaft, the internal grease gets spun out all over the wheel well.
Anyhow, only fluids around that area are
1. drive shaft CV boot grease
2. brake fluid reservoir is just in front of the steering wheel
3. steering rack drive's side tie rod boot is there.
#2 and #3 are pretty clear and thin fluids. #1 should be nice the thick.
