Hello Guys and gals

My rear end is in bits at the moment, just changed out my subframe bushes. however before I put it all back together again i think I have another problem

When I pulled the drive shafts from the diff, there was ALOT
of green ooze from behind the bolts. At the top of the shaft
there is a dome like piece that fits snuggley into the diff to centre it
could this be leaking out grease? my diffs not leaking at least
I think its not, coz my diff oil is brown and this stuff is dark green.

The boots on the shafts are clean and not leaking, I wonder if there is a seal at the top that may have let go. both sides are leaking, but one side is worse that the other.

What do you all think?

I thought it was greased from factory to prevent heat transfer and bonding?

The green ooze is probly 20year old grease.

I may be wrong. But both soarers I've pulled shafts off had this.

CV Joint grease coming from the backing plate / bolt holes.

If you're concerned that there's too much grease, I would get your CV joints re-packed as that's where it's come from.
