Last year while I was changing oil I noticed a bit of greased around the brake sensor and realized it was coming from the CV boots (both sides). I don't think it was turn but rather leaking by the clamps. Either way, they were getting old and after 17 years, I think the rubber had served its purpose. I ordered a new CV boot kit from Suncoast and finally today went over to Lee's Autowerks so he could make quick work out of it. While it was there also had him change the transmission fluid since the OS Giken diff was started to get a bit whiny.
