    Sorry in advance for the bad photo quality, the sun would not cooperate. Should I be worried about my passenger UCA, as it is caked in grease, and has a large build around the bottom?

    I heard that your supposed to be adding grease a few thousand miles or every oil change, that's why there's a nipple which is a one way valve. When you add grease, it pushes the old grease out of the boot.

    IMO, clean it up and see if the grease is coming out of the valve/nipple.

    I will try cleaning it to see if more comes out, but I add more grease every 5k miles, maybe I added too much last time because the diver side is way cleaner. Or that could mean the driver side needs more.
