Well there are several possibilities:

1) You drove through a puddle of oil and it splashed into your wheelwell.

2) Your front strut is leaking oil.

3) Could it be something else, like brake fluid (I hope not!)

Check your Constant Velocity joint boot. If you discover it to be damaged, get it replaced right away.

Check it for cracks and if it is get it fixed as hopefully the joint itself is not bad yet.
