did you buy your 2is new or used? if used, how many miles on the odometer?

CV boots can tear based on vehicle age, though modified suspension geometry can cause the CV boots to tear earlier.

My boots are not torn, it leaks grease from a seam in the CVC joint itself

The Outboard CVC joint leaks and the boots aren't cracked/torn/etc. So where is it leaking from? There are no bolts that I can see, they seemed pressed together, any idea how the joints are made??
