Default CV Boot, Driveaxle busted due to rotors installation?

Hi guys,

I had my dimple drilled rotors installed at a Muffler/Brake shop on Monday (2 days after the sht happened to my car) and now I'm noticing like this greyish thick gooey fluid around the CV joint (the round thing??) could it be due to the installation of the rotors?

To get my rotors out they had to use one of the puller thing that sticks itself to the rotors and pull real hard...what do you guys think?

you might have a ripped boot, which means the axles is now bad, how that would happen after a rotor install i have no idea.
