Grease leaking from tie rod end?

[Phil Biscuit]

Noticed a clunking when I've been braking or turning, had a look under my car and noticed this grease leaking from my inner tie rod end. Gave it a wipe, looks black in color and haven't noticed my coolant level drop so fingers crossed it isn't coolant. Other side of car is bone dry. Think this might just be an inner tie rod + boot replacement job? Not sure how long it's been like this but the clunking has only been happening the past few days.

replace it

We talking a replacement of the entire axle or just the boot?

Update. The clunking was coming from a worn outer tie rod, the cv joint itself wasn't making any noise. The boot is in good condition, no rips or cracks. On my last service, my mechanic flagged up the clip on the boot being insecure, had this service done a few weeks ago so the leak is only recent. Decided to just re grease the joint and put on a new clip and see how it goes
