Hole in new ball joint boot
Put my 4 balljoints on and I think I must've overfilled one of the uppers w/ too much grease or something...I have a little grease coming out of 2 little needle size holes on the boot.
I don't want to replace it, can I just patch it up with something? Silicone sealer?

you should be able to use some silicone sealant. usually the ball joint boots have a little nipple hole(for lack of a better phrase) in the back to fill the boots. Am I correct to assume you didnt have them and just poked holes with an injection needle or what?

I thought using "shoe goo". It is made to repair holes in rubber soles, should stick to rubber boots fine.
Some boots have vent holes to let the excess grease out. They are usually by the base of the boot.
