Cv boot or something leaking... How much $$$$?
Hey guys got this problem here..... was installing front mudflaps and noticed this
can anyone tell me whats broken and approximately how much it may cost me?
Thanks.

Outer cv boot, minor leak at that stage, but boot seems to be cracking, will need replacing now or at least soon before it splits - Check other boots too
Price depends where you go, its about a couple of hours work, possibly more. So about 200+/-
The boot itself costs about $15.

Thanks dude appreciated! any run of the mill mechanic will do it aye?

yep, anyone can do it.
Buy the parts from Repco/Supercheap etc, and then ring up some mechanics asking for quotes on replacement of all CV boots, with parts supplied.

some times it can be cheaper to replace the whole drive shaft as there is less labour involved.

id agree with that about replacing the joint, but if its just the boot, its not so bad.
Any decent mechanic will have a CV boot banding tool, which pretty much just stretches them, so you dont even need to take the shaft out.

that looks like inner cv boot, near balancer.
is it closer to gearbox?
if diy youll need cv banding tool to tighten the metal 'bands' that comes in cv bootkit from bursons etc.
that leak looks like the boot was replaced and its wasnt tightened much.
seems like boot looks fine.
try diy it, youll learn a thing or two.
