Are you talking about a seal or a boot? The seal holds back differential fluid and the boot hold back grease. The location of the leak would be good.

Did you do the seals on the front differential already?
If the half-shafts pop out of the differential like they are designed to do then the job is not too tough. If the circle clips hang up and don't release it can be a major job. Happy to provide more detail if you have yet to do the seal replacement.

By small gears did you mean spider gear? What kind of noise is it? whining whir or decel or accel howl/whine?
