Default Steering Column Boot Tear?

Folks,

I was pulling leaves out of the various corners in my 2020 110S and what appeared to be a potential boot tear in my steering column caught my eye -- curious if I'm correct (or this is how it's meant to look) or if anyone else has come across this? I've come across obvious CV join tears, tie rods etc but this one is new to me and the boot looks a bit different. Not the greatest photo, and I haven't attempted to get under the car. I've seen no evidence of oil leaks etc.

Thanks for any thoughts in advance.

Have not experienced this, but definitely do take it to the dealer especially if your Defender is still under warranty.

Where's that photo taken from / what's the angle? (can't make it out)

Taken from standing over the engine from the space just beyond where the coolant tank is on the drivers side, magnified slightly.
