Default EM1 leaking grease near axle boot clamp HELP

hello, i was changing my oil and noticed that there was some leakage of grease from the right front axle, it looks like its coming out of where the clamp is at, near the axle boot. i checked the other side and it is dry as a whistle. i noticed beforehand that my car was veering to the right, i already got alignment and it still veered to the right. would this be causing it? axle boot is not torn. would i just need to take off the clamp and put a new one in? or is my problem worse

A wearing axle will not cause alignment issues. Fixing the boot would likely be more trouble than its worth. I suggest letting it go until the axle needs replaced or just replacing it now if you like.

Might as well replace both axles in case driving it without the axle grease caused any hidden damage.
