Default Inner front CV boots leaking

Hey gang,

Has anyone had inner CV boots leaking from the small end where the boot seals on the axle shaft? It seems like the clamp is not tight enough and the grease is starting to leak out. Not large by any means but both front axles are leaking at 65k.

I had this problem on my 98. The large clamp on top and both sides. I just replaced the clamps with new ones and no leaks sence then. You can pick up clamps at the toyota dealer , napa or any local parts store. Very easy to install.

Has anyone ever used zip ties instead of metal clamps?
