Ok so I had the dealer go throght My car they fixed a few things under warrenty car is in good shap the only small issue I have is there is a small leak in my outer right axle boot very small but it;s there. Now I had the axle replace about two years ago and the car isn't driven in the winter not sure why this is even an issue right now. So my question is can i just have the boot replaced the axle is should be fine there is no noise and barly loosing any grease cann't i just patch it wiht something like a rubber sealer?

Depending on where the leak in the boot is, yeah you should be able to patch it.
Most of the time patching the boot isn't worth it, because its old and will just tear someplace else soon anyway, but if its new like you said, patching should work.

Good luck! Just make sure you haven't lost too much grease! That'll shorten the life of the axle.
