CV- loose clamp or torn boot? (pic)

[Bfaulken]

I know, another CV thread...I lifted a week and a half ago, got about 3 inches of lift up front after it settled. Checked the nuts this weekend to make sure everything was still tight, and found a VERY small amount of grease on the bottom of the LH Outer cv boot. Checked again today, and there was a little more. The RH outer boot and both inner boots look good.

Up close it looks like its on the side of the clamp closest to the diff, which makes me think it isn't just the clamp, maybe a small tear. Any thoughts on what all needs to be done? I don't mind doing my first reboot, but if its just the clamp itd be way easier/cheaper.

after a lift its typical to leak from the clamp. Go under with a good light and lift the wheels up so you can rotate it and give it a good inspection. I took a hose clamp (slightly modified to make the edges smoother) and wrapped it around the existing clamp and haven't had any leaks since.. and save much more grease than that. Then again i may not have had a small tear.. but confirm the tear first and if you are any good with cars reboot it, its good to know how to pop an axle on and off if you ride trails.
