R32 Gtr Grease Leak

[DS-ZILR]

Gday crew i had my r32 up on a hoist to check an exhaust leak and found this nice collection of grease leaking out of the front left drive shaft boot. the boot itself is fine in great nick but there seems to be grease leaking out from the tone wheel side of it. anyone know if there is a seal there that could be leaking or if the boot had a clamp or wire tie arround it to keep grease in? know of any other problem it could have? would have checked my manual but i deleted it off the computer by mistake.

hope the pics are ok i took them with my phone (that said its a 5 mega pixel camera)

cheers crew

yes there should be a metal band around it, about the same thickness as the one you can see at the other end (much larger diameter of course). can't really tell if its ther in the pics

just make sure its not split in any way cause it can screw the drive shaft if dirt and crap gets in there.

yeah looks like you are missing a fastener on the outer side of the boot

if you're ghetto enough, repack with htb grease and refasten...

teah just put a tie tag there for know.

get new boots & then replace with the metal straps
