So i have some grease on the driver side of my truck from the middle of the front fender to the rear tail light an dont know where it cam from no evedence on tires or anything.. Will grease eat paint??? what should i do to get it off???

 

dont know if it will do anything to the paint but start your truk and check the blow by tube, under the truk kinda inbetween the tranny and motor on the drivers side, and does the stuff kinda smell like diesel.

 

it definetly looks like axle grease but ill have to look under it tomorrow.. when i was lookin under it earlier it didnt seem like there was anythin under neath the truck but its definetly in the fender well.. but there is no sign of grease on the tire..

 

is there some on the frame and ur tail gate

 

Spray some WD-40 on it. It will dissolve it and will wipe right up, no damage to paint.. You probably drove over something on the highway.

If you don't see anything under the truck I would't worry too much.

Nope not a thing on the tailgate or on the frame but its only in the front fenderwell there is no sign of grease in the rear wheel well...?? Its like it came out of nowhere..

Thanks dynomite...

 

Can't believe you haven't experienced this before, or maybe I hit every unseen glob of grease on the road. I seem to have grease splatters on the sides of my vehicles few times a year at least.
I use WD-40, Orange cleaner, lacquer thinner, gasoline, whatever is closest at hand.

 

I'm with ya on that one! I always seem to have it splattered down my passenger side... 3M Adhesive Remover works pretty good on it too!

Might also check to see if the front axle vent ends there. They will puke now and then. Grease and tar is easily removed with kerosene or diesel soaked rag.

 

Only thing greased to that extent down there would be wheel bearings. Look inside your rim for throwoff. If that's clean you must of had it on the tire tread only and spun it off to the wheel well and out.
I agree wd40.
