Default grease from front driveshaft

When I was lowering my axle to take my coil springs out there was some grease "squeezing" out of the front driveshaft. it left a wormlike pile of grease on the floor. is this a problem? should i put more grease back in it? if so, how?

you probably slid the front portion of the ds in and it squeezed the excess grease from the splines out the little vent hole. No biggie. When you re-install it, slide it back out and re-grease it. Try not to pull the front half all of the way out. It may be a good idea to put a mark on both halves so that you can line them back up if you do pull them apart. That way its all balanced and you wont have any vibrations from the drive shaft being out of wack.
