2020 Explorer Limited CV Axle leaking grease

[Bborn78]

Good Evening Everyone, I just took my 2020 Explorer Limited to NTB because I thought that I had a slow leak in my front tire. They had it up on the lift when when they came out and told me that "Both front CV axle boots are leaking grease". I took some pictures, but I guess I really want to know is if they are covered under my powertrain warranty (it has 41k miles) and if not, where would be a reasonable (price wise) place to take them to get fixed.

Thank you all for any advice/suggestions/recommendations you can provide.

Mine were replaced under powertrain warranty in recent months. I had purdhased an extended warranty from Ford but did not have to pay the deductible. My service advisor determined it was under powertrain warranty and therefore free of charge.

Both of mine were done under powertrain warranty, They were about 6 months apart. Very common problem.

Okay is just me or does that look like the grease was slathered on there? If it was dripping that much grease, it would be flinging it all over and I just don't see that. Call me skeptical.
