Need Experienced Eyes on Possible Front End Issue

[Bluesky 07]

Seems obvious these two spots are leaking but I’m not as knowledgeable about the front end & steering components as I‘d like to be. Searched and found little on this unless I wasn’t using the best search terms (and some threads’ pics were no longer visible).

Other side looks fine. Any insight would be appreciated.

the upper is called the outer tie rod end and the other is a lower ball joint. "leaking" is not a huge deal. if its got movement or play then you have a problem.

Good to know. Thanks.

Just keep this in the back of your mind, if its leaking then the boots have some sort of hole or tear and the grease is coming out which will make the joints wear out faster.

If you have a grease gun go to a parts store and get a needle fitting and put some more grease in there to keep it lubed. The fitting is like 5.00 and worth every penny. I usually add a little to every joint every oil change. 130,000 miles and all original suspension.
