I think it went on the way to Maine (200 miles) and then I drove home. I was under there before the trip and there was no grease splattered before my trip. It's a new development I saw in Maine, i noticed the wheel well had a grease spray pattern in it. The grease is not dirty yet around the joint/boot.
I haven't put my finger in it, but it looks really goopy. It may be worth trying out the temporary solution.

Kelly,
First question - do you have any idea how long that boot has been run damaged?
If you put a finger in the crack and it comes back with lots of grease on it, a split boot may be a good "Temporary" repair.
We have a local owner that has two of them in service and the older one is probably 3 years a 5,000 miles. That one has served well.
These are a classic case of a 220$ job. 20$ for parts, the rest is labor.
