Looked up under truck in front driver's side about 1 week after front level kit installed and grease is everywhere?

What can cause this?( Did not see any noticable cut in CV joint boot or anything)

So does it mean it just leaked or is bad and needs replacing?( I looked closely at it b/c I thought the same thing once I seen all the grease but it doesn't look bad in any way?)

The axle needs the grease so it can function without eating itself, so if all of it came out you'd need to take it apart and re-fill it with grease and put a new clamp on it. There is a special tool for those style clamps too.

 

Or just replace the axle completely.

 

You may have to clean everything up real good and take a short drive to see exactly where it's coming from.

Could this happen b/c of a level kit installed?(it's a lower block installed between the lower strut/ lower a arm) rough country.1" block for a 2" gain b/c of geometry...

Faulty clamp found all good now if I could get a definite answer on why it feels like my truck idles too high/causing tranny to feel like it over runs it self when driving in town I'd be happy?

2019 LT Trail Boss - Less than a week after the dealership installed bilstein 5100s for a 1" front level the cv boots on both front axles started leaking grease. They replaced both axle's under warranty today and the passenger side started leaking again by the time I got home. Frustrated to say the least, taking it to a suspension shop tomorrow.
