Can anyone identify this...leakage?

My pics may not be explicit enough. They were taken inside my garage tonight but if anyone knows what this ungodly, yellow'ish, sludge/cream is I would appreciate it.

CV? Shock juice leaking?

Is it your CV's? The pictures are hard to see and tell but it kinda looks like it's being thrown from the CV boots.

Old cv grease

What would you all suggest? Assuming it's old CV grease?

First make sure your inner boot isn't currently torn leaking grease. If it is, then fix that by re-booting or replacing the axle and wipe up the grease spray. If its just old grease from a previous leak just wipe it off?

Oh man would this be a relief. I did just have an oil change, tire rotation and check up one week ago.
Thanks for the replies.

Definitely looks like Toyota inner cv joint grease. Toyota uses two different types of grease for the inner and outer. The inner is lighter in color and makes one hell of a mess when the boot tears. I became very familiar with that inner grease twice after I lifted the front. I bought boot kits from toyota and the install did not take long at all. Just be prepared for a mess and have plenty of clean rags and paper towels, a couple pieces of clean cardboard is nice to use as a work surface also.

First things first, clean up the mess and drive around. See if there is an on going leak or if it was from the recent oil change. Ive seen oil on the skid change nasty colors when mixed with coolant, etc.

Correct. Thank you. Not something I've ever dealt with before
but I did indeed need to replace the joint/cv assembly.

Certainly looks lik cv. As before mentioned, I'd clean it up, take it for a drive and check again.

Here's the finished product.

Did you replace it yourself?

What brand did you go with?

I didn't have time to do it myself so I have no clue what brand.
