yeah maybe grease, i smelt it and it didn't smell like oil..but where would grease be coming, it has happened twice already. hmm ill check where its coming from 2m.

- Mon Nov 19, 2012 3:58 am #320275 only really place under the hood that would have greese would really be the axles
check to see if you have a torn boot

- Mon Nov 19, 2012 3:45 pm #320296 actually that looks more like chassis grease than CV grease... Maybe a ball joint boot has torn?

hope its not the boot cause i had them replaced maybe half a year ago..

+ i wish it was tile lol...its just linoleum tile.
we also have this hard carpet i wanted to put, i think it would look cool

- Mon Nov 19, 2012 7:06 pm #320304 k just took a look and it is the cv boot ..dont even know how its ripped when i replaced a half a year ago

- Mon Nov 19, 2012 9:11 pm #320314 Actually cv boots tend to tear or get torn easy. And seems more so if your suspension is moddified. I actually want to try and make some ureathean boots or something along those lines. I did take a little urethean and put it around the grooves of my boots to give them a little extra protection.

it sucks, i dont know how diy it + no time. & and i dont want to pay $200 for mechanic.

i figured it was something with being low.
i thought maybe if i make my ride stiffer it might help maybe not.
and a good invention would be a CV boot that you can put on without taking out the axle. just reach down under the hood and put on a new boot.

but a diff material should be good too. lol , i mean they should have made that by now. our cars are about 20+ years old and if hondas are known for cv boot ripping they should figure make new cv boot material

- Tue Nov 20, 2012 12:47 am #320324 I know right. There is a boot u can buy, it comes with clamps and some expoxy to glue it together and grease to fill it back up.I actually got it from auto zone to change but did the ureathane instead and it seems to be holding up good. Will see how.it looks after winter. I might have to come up with a way to make a mold and start some trials on ureathane cv boots. Will see.
