My wife was pulling out from the curb and got hit in the front tire only by f150. The other guy's bumper is messed up. There is no visible damage unhandy and it seems to drive fine. There was a bit of greenish looking liquid on the axle and I can not figure out where it is coming from. Should I be concerned? Anything to check?
Minor accident - anything to check?

How fast was the pick up going? If it was a bump, probably not. Anything more, I'd check things out like a-arms and steering.

everything looks ok. But I did not get it on the lift. The guy almost stopped. She could not back out until he pulled back though - sounds odd, but it could be shock effect/perception. The only thing I could see was a light scuff on the tire - just got new LTX AT/2 put on.
If it's your wife'd DD or you haul the family in it I take to a mechanic for a once over or in for a front end alignment. The alignment probably ins't needed given you just out tires on it by the FEA guys can check everything when they're in there.
Might cost you $50 or $75 bucks but money well spent. The other guy might even reimburse you for it. I'd ask nicely or not so nicely depending on his reaction.
