I have a 1991 Legacy non turbo that i was purchased from an auction.

The problems that i noticed is that the Passenger side Inner CV boot is ripped and it looks like stuffed leaked everywhere. It still has fluid in there. Do i need to check the fluid somewhere and Add more?

How will this damage the car? Should i be driving it like this. Will it fail soon? Currently nothing is happening and it is driving fine.

Can i just replace the boot. Is this something easy or should i get a mechanic.

I'm pretty handy and i have a changed a few things on a car before.

Does anyone know what i need to do to replace the boot? instructions?

Just get a new axle.the cv is most likely compromised at this point anyway.If you search you will find all you need to know as far as whether or not you can tackle it.

Like gijonas said, go ahead and get a new axle. It is much easier to do this and again, the CV itself is most likely compromised. It isn't that hard to replace the axle.
