Define "kid". I have made my car worth while by swaping a new engine after my 1.5 shit the bed. Seeing as how you just joined, I don't really expect you to know my experience with my car. I inspected the boot, the cut is about | | long, I tested it and there was no clanking noises or grease comming out. So I put silicone over the cut and drove the car and there was no further leaking. Also note my post above about buying new axles in a week or two. The grease could have been from my previous axles, who knows? All I know is it will be fine untill I get my new axles. Also, again with the new join date, you probably haven't had a chance to see the money I just put into my car. I'm trying to have fun, but also support my means of living........The axles can wait a few weeks.
