[Gmcnet] Grease leaking from inner CV joint

[David]

curious, did you replace the gasket in the oil cooler when you changed
the filter.. I had a leak which sounds familiar to yours.  here is a
link to the photo site that shows pics of what i am talking about.
btw, mine did not start leaking there until i changed the oil..
