    Split CV or possibly PAS tank/hose dribbling.

    Most likely CV boot though.

    I'd say the same as these boys, nice bit of green sludge & you've got a split.
    Parts aren't dear but I'd advise packing it with plenty of grease & not just the pathetic sachet you'll get with a new boot.

    With kits I've had in the past it's nowhere near 110g more like a handy wipe sachet from KFC. Lol
    I usually use white grease.
