?? Adding?? CV Axle Grease

I noticed my newly changed axles on the right side sprayed some grease out of the bolted area on the inner bolt.
I need to add some grease to the boots.
How do I do add grease?

Initially these cars had a special oil in the boots,but many times the oil leaks out over time. A friend of mine the loosened the clips on his boots and placed grease that way. I'm meaning to do the same thing soon

Grease should not be leaking out unless there is something wrong with the new axle. You can get CV joint grease at auto parts stores.

If the warranty was still good you should return the axel.
