Here's a good one....milk shake out of right inner CV boot?!
Was under the car today checking to see if any of the oil leaks I fixed had come back. Everything was high and dry, but there was this weird milk shake crap all over the right front subframe, just below the inner CV boot.
I thought it was coming from above, but nope, with a flashlight I could see it was spun out of the boot, sort of getting past the banding clamp, and slung up onto the frame of the body, and down onto the top of the subframe.
What the.......?
Anybody want to take a guess at why water contaminated grease or oil is spinning out of the CV boot? That joint has a plate inside that seals it up completely from the transmission.
Otherwise, I'd say, "Is my radiator pumping coolant into my transmission fluid?" My coolant bottle is full nice clean, new coolant.

Are you sure the boot isn't split or cracked?
The only oil around there is hypoid final drive fluid. Like you say it's not possible for that to get into the CV. You could remove the final drive filler plug and check the condition of the oil to make sure.

Didn't have time to do a thorough inspection, but will.
Weather it's torn or not, if that's the crud that's inside it *mind bending* it needs to come off, apart, get cleaned and packed with a non-dairy product!
