    Are these CVs ok?

    Hi Guys,

    I've been keeping an eye on a grease or oil leak from CV joint(left side/passenger side).
    It looks like grease, rather than oil by the looks and feel of it.
    I remember greasing the king pin bearings from top and bottom few years back, and I used general purpose grease.
    I might have over greased it.
    I think I also made a mistake by applying thin layers of silicone sealant to the king pin bearing caps shims.
    I thought (wrongly) that might help with any possible grease leaks out of those caps.
    So, I'm not sure whether I've caused some damage to bearings by doing that.

    Grease or oil comes out of the scraper. Do I need to replace the scraper?

    Thanx

    P.S. I gave it a good wipe and clean and I'm hoping to watch it during next drive or so, unless it needs critical attention.
