If that was my vehicle I'd crawl under there and figure out the source and then fix it asap without driving it (much). It may be a band, it may be a tear (can't tell from the pictures... )... good luck. If it continues to leak like that (regardless of the source) you may end up buying a cv axle instead of a boot band.
in case you need it after the milkshake gets cleaned up.
best case:Replacing CV bands - Toyota 120 Platforms Forum
intermediate stop gap/ tear containment: RESCUE TAPE Self-Fusing Silicone Tape: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific (if it turns out you have a tear this stuff ma get you by until you can get it replaced....)

Looks like a loose band and the boot is pulling back.
Clean up will definitely tell.

Looks like the band is loose and cocked to one side a bit. Clean it up, install a new band if it looks good and see how it goes.

Yes that too... lol Having Fun making me look bad!
2 things:
1. Do this, but I'd suggest re-booting at the same time, as it's not that expensive to do, and re-banding/re-positioning the band may not solve it, because the band may have gotten moved by slipping due to a (not obvious) tear.
2. Everyone remember this day. [MENTION=66389]BlackWorksInc[/MENTION] , our go-to for servicing advice, has been shown up. PSA: Our new official go-to is [MENTION=88231]having fun[/MENTION] .

And since where being CERTIFIED now. I would personally get some marine stainless steel hose clamps to re clamp with.
There's a thread in here somewhere about them. Napa sells the grease packs with the right amount of grease (4oz.) for each side also. How do I know, been there done that.
[MENTION=89415]Stuck CAPS[/MENTION]- I'll let you have the credit on the research on the bands when you find the thread.

I may get some long red boots for my 4wd conversion. they do look quite nice
And longer seems helpful.
