Front propeller shaft leakage

Hi. I think I have a grease leakage from the front propeller shaft.

Few days ago I noticed a lot of grease spilled around grease point. I cleaned it at a car wash and now it looks clean. The grease sealant is soft, I can squeeze it by my fingers and see remaining grease.

Here are some photos.

Currently this is the only element with grease remaining:

Do you think I should replace the sealant? Can you point me to the part number and some instruction how to change it?

That is nothing to be concerned of as long as there are no tears or splits in the rubber boot. Is there a grease nipple on that joint? If so, a few shots of grease would be a good idea.

I just went and looked at mine, there is a grease nipple to the rear of that rubber boot on the shaft, about halfway between the rubber boot and the u-joint leading to the transfer case. You may need to rotate the shaft to access it.
