U joint bellow leaking or not?

[Speed1v8]

I took my drive off. I inspected it and theirs no cracks. the inside I notice in between the ribs their was black liquid stuff. I didn't see water. Could be grease that melted. U joint are not rusted. If I had water in their would their be puddle laying their

Can't say for sure, simply because I can't see if, but with no rust on anything or signs of water (milky rusty oil in bellows) I would guess it's not leaking water. Grease may be the puddles, could also be gear lube from the drives input shaft seal if it's leaking.

Well I was thinking it was gear lube, wich is kinda green or blue but then I seen the Grease and is same color kinda green so hard tell. Anyway I took bellow out and inspected it and it has stress marks but they don't go threw. I guess is time to replace them. no money know so I'm bumed that I can't take out before summer or labor day to the blue sea.

Now that you've taken the effort to remove the bellows, you're pretty much into a replacement anyways.
