Oil In The Drivers Side Wheel Well
I was working on the brakes of the project car when I noticed an oily substance on the suspension and inside the wheel well.
Would a bad strut cause this? Is there anything from the engine that would spray the wheel well? The oil cooler is outside of this area and there is no sign it is leaking.

It's not recent, by the looks of it. Lots of road dust collected in the oil. Maybe someone tried to put undercoating on just one side of the car? But also, the pattern on the wheel liner looks to me like a one time splash, not a continuous misting of oil from a leak or flung by spinning components. I don't think a strut would have done this.
