Help??

So my wife is driving my 3rd Gen and then the right front wheel or brakes lock up and there is gear oil everywhere. I am thinking bearings but I am not sure any ideas?

Gear oil is only at the diff. and it is in the middle/ under the engine. If you see any sort of oil at the whee it could be brake fluid. Don't drive until you find out what is wrong in it.
Since it is locking up, may be the front diff is broken?

Yeah it's not gear oil I'm working and for some reason that popped in my head it's like grease everywhere and it's the passenger front so shouldn't be the Diff. I'm thinking the bearings went out and locked up idk.

If it looks like grease and it's a 4WD then it might be your CV joint on the axle.

Turns out the brakes over heated and it blew all the oil out that side CV boot thanks for all the help

That's pretty hot.

Only way I could see brakes getting that hot is if the caliper was sticking, or you were riding the brakes down a 7% grade for 30 minutes lol.

Passenger front caliper started to seize up. Had to replace all the brake lines (rubber) and flush the system.
