Default cv boot sprayin' grease

i just did a jdm b16a swap in my 96 ex and the inner cv boots keep sprayin all the grease out, there doesnt seem to be a crack and the clamp feels pretty tight, has anyone ever experienced this problem before, or have any recommendations on how to fix it? thanks

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.
