So TTExperts...It's "normal" for the right inner CV boot to fling grease?
I did my first TT diaper change last night and when I took off the "skidplate thingy", I found a nice little mess. The right inner CV boot has been leaking (flinging) grease. Freaked me out at first. Then I did a search and discovered it's common and probably nothing to worry about.
It sure seems like there should be a clamp there but the Bentley doesn't show one either. OK to leave it be?

It's leaking through a "Vent" hole which is built in.(by design)...>
I'm assuming that any replacement would have the same hole, and that leakage (or lack thereof)is a function of how much excess grease was installed initially.
She's due for her 2 yr checkup in January. I'll just keep an eye on it till then.
