    When I was changing the oil on my 2013 C i notice an oil stain under the car, at first i didn't know what type of oil it was so i decided to clean it but i suspect it's coming from the front axle (i think) took some after cleaning pic and after 3 day pic, i hope this help in identifying where is coming from.

    this pic was after i cleaned it

    it does look like the boot is leaking, how many miles on her?

    that's pretty early, maybe some road hazard damage.
