Is it normal for front rims to have oil stains?

[Johnnylim]

Whenever I washed my car every few weeks, I observed that the 2 front wheel rims always have oil stains whereas the 2 back rims only have normal dirt. Is it normal or something is leaking somewhere?

it's abnormal,

most probably drive shaft cover broken, better quickly go workshop to check, if the greases splash on brake disc, it will reduce brake friction,

what car are you driving?

If very stickly like grease high chance its your drive shaf boots break,

if not should be brake hose leaking, oil leak quite easy to detect,

I also thinking it is one of these 2. But higher chance is the brake fluid.

 

TS need to open up the boot and check the brake fluid level.

if there is thick lubricants or oil stains on the inner parts of the rims, driveshaft or cover absorber kaput,

 

If rims just dusty then its just brake dust. because front brakes use more force so wear out faster

Mostly likely is your drive shaft cover broken..If really drive shaft cover broken..Need to get it done fast..Else sand went inside your shaft..U need to spend more $$..

Can try to bend down and use a torchlight to see..Should be quite obvious to see broken shaft cover..
