Any rear axle boot failures out there?

I do have a dealer visit scheduled for next week but, I began my Friday routine by driving my grandkids to school this morning. Upon arriving back to the garage, I decided to sweep out the sand residue from the winter and sticky tires.

Grab the broom and start sweeping. Get about halfway to the door and notice a glob of yellowish/white grease on the floor. Have not got to get under the vehicle yet but I am concerned.

Wondering if anyone has had issues. Currently, have 1,200 miles and took delivery in December. I am running 21's with run flats.

Are you sure the glob was auto part grease, but not a wintry cocktail of road salt/molasses/sand/road grime?

Quite sure it was grease. Sadly.
