I recently changed over to my summer wheels and found a lot of greay dirt stuck to the inside of my Front Right Wheel. My summers are super clean and I noticed after a day of driving that there is fresh grease inside the wheel. Could my joint boot be leaking? Anyone have this issue. I ran a search but came up empty.

Yes, it sounds like a CV boot is split and leaking grease. get it checked and fixed quick or you will destroy the CV joint (not cheap to repair).

It was the CV Joint Boot. It had a small tear in it that when the wheel was turned left or right is stretched the tear which allowed the grease to spooge out and splatter on the wheel. Covered under warranty and they gave me a free oil change as well.
