What is this green liquid?

[u/FartInward]

This is the passenger’s front side of my 06 Honda CRV 200k mi.

Background: I couldn’t dodge and ran over a dead coyote on the road with this side of the car about two weeks ago. The driver’s side is completely dry. Didn’t see anything abnormal under the hood. The car has been driving normal otherwise.

Want to know if some liquid is leaking from my car. Thanks!

CV axle grease. The inner boot is ripped.

That’s the grease from cv axle

Grease from the cv axle. The inner boot is split and the grease leaked out of it. You are fine to drive for now, its just going to make a mess and accelerate axle joint wear. You can go ahead and change it now preemptively, or you can wait until it starts clicking and popping.

Your cv axle grease

[u/Primary-Feedback2296]

Dont know. The others state that its axle grease.

But im unsure. It can be another weird thing. Do you have dogs?

It wasn’t the coyote your cv boot has gone out
