Default Chevy Silverado 1500 throwing axle grease????

so my other vehicle, a 1999 chevy silverado 1500 has some clanking noise coming from the right front tire so I took the tire off and found my axle hub is throwing grease but there is no cracks or holes in the rubber sleeve. the clanking turned out to be the control arm bolts were loose... Tightened those and no longer pulling to the right or bad breaking or clanking. but its still throwing grease. any ideas?
