Social media forums in the area reported concerns over the "spill" and Amey were alerted to the matter just before 7am today.
But a spokesperson for the company, who maintain the South-West Trunk Road network, said they found nothing to report
They added: "An Amey Incident Support Unit (ISU) was dispatched to respond and arrived on site at 7.50am this morning to discover no trace of a spillage."
