Default Audi 80 1995 - Left Drive Shaft Leaking

Photo Album - Imgur

Hi all. It looks like my left drive shaft isn't doing so well. The plastic thing cracked and is leaking grease.

I was wondering if there is a DIY I can follow to repair this, I have a good amount of tools... but unfortunately they didnt release a Haynes manual for this model.

Thanks for the help!

Not that difficult if you replace the entire half shaft, but pretty much a PIA if you actually want to fix the axle. You can get rebuilt axles for less than $100 or new ones from EMPI for less than $150, and you don't have to worry about the CV joints being bad and just rebooted. Send me a PM and I'll E-mail you a PDF file on how to replace the axle.
