National Highways first alerted motorists to delays on the motorway at about 4.20pm on Thursday.
Writing to X, formerly Twitter, it said one of two lanes had closed on the M5 northbound link road to the M6 northbound at Junction 8 near West Bromwich due to a diesel spillage from a lorry.
Crews were said to be on the scene working to clear the spillage.
Around three and a half miles of traffic were reported on approach to the M5 northbound, with drivers warned to allow extra time to travel.
In an update at about 6.45pm, National Highways said all lanes had reopened.
