Default 5th gen w/ "sludge" on front wheel

Hello men,
I have a 5th gen accord with an odd problem: my front passenger side wheel keeps getting this greasy, green/black sludge on it. Not a lot, just a few small globs. Since it's only on one wheel I am pretty sure something is leaking here. Any ideas for what to look for? Haven't had a chance to jack it and check it out yet. Thanks.

CV joint boot? If it's torn open, go buy an axle.

Thanks, I think that's what it is. Definitely looks like the kind of grease that is probably inside that boot.

Yeah. That is the problem. Might as well replace them both since the other is probably not far from going also. Labor is cheaper that way if you can't change them yourself.
