    I have changed the cv boot on the drive shaft some weeks ago
    I have been driving a bit since then
    Now I noticed that the boot on the wheel side has collapsed
    and that some grease has come out
    So I removed the strap on the smallest diameter side
    and it started sucking air in
    I believe the boot itself is not torn
    What is the best thing todo to fix this?

    Take a small nozzle from any spray can, like Brake Cleaner can, and insert it under the lip of the small cv boot end, reclamp it.

    This small nozzle vents the vacuum from inside the boot and keeps it from collapsing.
