Is My Axle Boot Leaking?

[dmac]

I was my truck and noticed a little bit of leakage near my driver side front wheel. Is this normal for 5k miles for the suspension experts out there?

Are you sure that blue smear is grease? Looks more like marker or paint.

It should come off fairly easily if it’s grease

I'll double check the marker, but the bottom right circle definitely was grease.

I wouldn’t worry about it. Your outer CV joint looks normal, your LBJ has a little blow by but that’s not a sealed system.
Points for you getting under your new truck and looking around!

It doesn’t look like your cv, but it looks like the lower control arm ball joint is collecting dust. I would clean the surface drive for a bit then check back. All seems fine but you never know!

Gotit. Thanks guys. I'll wipe it off and keep an eye on.

the Good news is you’re under warranty for awhile so drive the heck out of it and keep an eye on stuff
