Pic from my wheel changing nightmare yesterday.
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/19389/dsc00324.jpg"></center><p>that nut is completly rounded off. luckily i was able to get it off woth an impact wrench. The bent wrench is a BRAND new one from a BMW. ist time ive used it. My audi one is already trash so i ended up using my roommates from his benz. anyways when i took off the passenger side front wheel, i noticed some green liquid leaking out from behind the the brakes. not the actual brakes, i wanna say the cv boot, but im not sure if thats right. what ccould it be. the level of my brake fluid is right where it should be.

green fluid = brake fluid
how viscous is it? if very liquidy (is that a word?) and green, it's likely brake fluid. check the level in the reservoir in the engine bay. if really goopy and thick, it could be the cv joint grease. if you rotate the wheel, you should be able to find a tear in the boot.
