Help identify leaky boot on axle.
#2
Clean the boot off...and carefuly look for cracks or tears.....it might be the grease inside leaking out.
If caught very early before the cv joint in contaminated, it can be rebooted...often if any grit has gotten in, the best option is a new axel. Oem iscok for most modified s's ....the cheap e-bay ones are pretty short lived on a higher hp car...they are underbuilt.
If the boot does not have any cuts or tears...look for what is dripping on it....
