Three of the four bolts connecting your steering knuckle to the wheel hub on the right front wheel broke off, which then damaged the seal on your front axle/differential. You first noticed the problem when you saw fluid leaking underneath the vehicle while it was parked. The full extent of the steering knuckle damage wasn't discovered until a mechanic inspected it. Fixing this will likely require replacing the broken bolts, the damaged steering knuckle, and resealing or replacing the front differential.
