Just noticed that the seal on the outer tie rod (closest to wheel) has a little leak where I can push on the side of the seal and it just feels mushy and doesnt spring back and also oozes some grease from the top where I can see that the seal has burst. The leak only looks like an inch wide if that, but its enough to keep the seal from staying firm and springing back. Seal feels really mushy like it will dissintigrate if I push too hard.
I´m not too good with front ends so I´m not sure what would be invloved in changing that out, or if its even worth it to do here in Mexico. I have about 2 months left till I drive home so can I last that long without catastrophic failure? What are the possible problems that can arrise from leaving this un-fixed? I greased it up and have a gun to keep giving it more if that will be needed, but the roads here that I´m on are pretty rough and intense.
Thanks
