Installed struts, and had cut the old sway bar links off and replace them as well. First one last evening took a long time. The one this morning took very little time. Pretty straight forward, but the sway bar end links truly sucked.

Was under the Sienna this morning changing the oil and noticed this. 

 

 

 

​​​​I thought it was plastic chips stuck to grease, but it turns its just grease. Cv axle boot looks to not be compromised, but where else could it be coming?

If that is a new axle the CV joint was over filled on assembly. If it is more than 5,000 miles old look more closely at the boot, because it must have a pin hole. Seriously tiny hole is all it takes to show what you have there.
