Brake fluid ??

PS looks good, i am on my way to check the brake fluid now.

Is it anywhere else in the fenderwell or just on the CV ?
Could even be a small amount of antifreeze

just on the CV asfar as i can tell i just started the jeep and let it run for about 20 mins with a piece of cardboard underneth the jeep and the cardboard is clean and dry i can't see ontop of the CV but it feels dry there

My driver side CV boot is always wet. Can't find the source. I dry it off...and i check it a bunch of times and it's never wet again. forget to check it one day, check it the next and it's wet. lol. fml

Over flow from wiper fluid?

[Ron Burgundy]

it could be i don't remeber wiper fluid being that oily but it could be, it also left a stain on the driveway.

Check the lower rad hose connections and the thermostat housing.

Also have a good look at the brake hose and bleeder screw, if possible have someone give a good push on the pedal while your watching.
