Are you sure it's the boot's grease? If it's happening where the axle meets the transmission, it could very well be transmission fluid. Did you used NEW seals where the axle meets the trans?

I agree. Be sure to check the transmission fluid level.

Mine do the same thing however it has never created a problem, after my engine swap. No crack or anything I think its just excess coming off at least thats what I am hoping.
