Sure it isn't brake fluid? Looks a bit "runny".

Whatever it is, both simple jobs, axle seals or wheel cylinder.

Checked the reservoir and it was still full. Smells more like EP90 but not 100%

Worrying amount of play in the wheel so concerned it may be bearings/flange/half shaft issues….
Strip down and look see. Whatever it is your going to have to get in about it anyway !!

Bearing might need adjusting, easy to do, drive members usually wear before half shaft splines, members are cheap, seals are cheap.

Also check the axle breather is clear and the 6mm nylon pipe isn't kinked or restricted. Excess pressure is vented through there, if its restricted then its forced past the axle seals. Standard axle breather is removable and cleanable, spring and ball bearing acting as a one way valve, air gets out but can't go in.
