    To answer your question accurately, is the leak at the front or rear wheels? Is the vehicle a 4x4? It could be an axle seal, but look closely to see if it is not brake fluid. Do not drive it until this is determined.

    It is the front right wheel. I drove it 20 miles to work this am, no problems. Will take it after work. WHICH is worse>>>>iT IS A FORD EXPLORER XL, NOT 4x4.
