CV leaking or is it coming from above? (1 Viewer)

Hey! I`m looking at a 2008, 4.5D With 200.000 km.
What do you think of the leaking CV? What needs to be replaced?
Thanks.

Hard for me to tell from one photo but it seems more like either something is dripping from above or maybe the leak is coming from where the CV fits into the transfer case.

• I don't see a boot tear
• If the CV is leaking grease at the clamp then I'd expect to see it flinging grease outward. You'd see it on the LCA.
• The LCA cam bolt seems to be wetter in a pattern that would be somewhat consistent with something dripping from where the shaft enters the front diff, though the entire CV inner housing (sorry not sure what's it's technically called) seems evenly soaked, which makes me think "drip from above"

Yep, axle seal behind the CV into the diff.
