was under the truck for an unrelated issue but noticed my passenger CV is leaking greenish fluid:
Would this be the seal? I’ll have to jack the truck up to test for hubs but could use a little guidance on replacement. I have a parts truck, can I pull from there or get new parts? And how much longer can a drive before it becomes a serious problem? Looking to head out to the beach this afternoon. Any help appreciated

That is grease leaking out of a torn CV joint boot. You can replace just the boot, by removing hub and pulling shaft. Relube, install new boot and reassemble.

man you’re helping me left and right! so nothing serious? Guess I could just take the good boot off my parts rover then... great news.
Either way, you should probably do it sooner than later. Once the grease is gone, you'll start to hear clicking when turning hard and eventually it'll break.

sounds good. I’m already doing my drivers side ball joints. I’m going to buy passenger side as well since I’ve got to take everything off to swap the axle. If I decided to pack with new grease is there specific grease I should be buying and do I just generously slop it on the the joint and cover with boot? Or do you not advise that and just slide it in like Deputy said. Thanks in advance, really helping me out 🙏🏼
