Either your pads are low, or your dust cover is rubbing up against the rim. My dust cover was rubbing for a while, I think either I, or a shop might have bumped it too hard puttin on and taking off the wheels.

Green grease? Hmmm. Wonder if you have a radiator leak and it's just blowing on the back of the wheel. Is there anything green anywhere else?

If there's grease, you may also have a busted brake line. Can you find a source for the grease and get back to us?

green colored grease on the wheel is from a cracked CV boot. the scraping noise i most likely low pads.

How much is it to replace a cv boot at the shop and how much is it if i replace it myself? I think it is a cracked cv boot. I looked behind the rotor and it does look like there is a crack on the cv boot, but then i peeled the little rusted metal off and it didn't look cracked anymore. So i'm not sure..I made sure that i tighten the wheel and it stoped make a loud scraping noise but still makes a quiet noise of scraping.

If it is cracked, and all the grease came out, then your cv joint might also be bad, depending on how long its not been lubed
