I notice what looks like some sort of grease leak under the front passenger side of my ‘02 4Runner. Doesn’t look good and any help as to what this could be would be appreciated. Thank you!

Most likely it’s leaking from the axle boot.

Clean it off and drive a bit to see if the leak point is obvious. You might need a new boot.
