lover control arm front Bushing leaking

Hi all,

I just saw some drops of blackish fluid on my garage floor today and its coming from the lower control arm front bushing-passenger side.
Is this passable oil in the bushing. HELP

I don't think so but if your CV boot is torn it may wind up there.

yeah, I was wondering if it could just be some tar picked up from the
road .

looks too light to be CV grease. Looks like motor oil if anything. Does it come back if you wipe it off?

How is that an answer to the problem? It was already known that the rear-most bushing on the lower front control arms are hydro-bushes. The question is whether or not that is indeed the source of the leak....

Yes They Are Oil Filled. My 05 Lr3 Is At Lr Right Now Getting The Control Arm Replaced Because Of This On Driver Side. Same Thing 6 Months Ago With Passenger Side. It Is Leaking Oil From The Oil Filled Bushing. Thank God For My Ford Esp.
