How many pumps did you put in there? It will squirt out of a vent hole on the end inside the yoke.

Yeah too much. 4 to 6 is more like it. Your shaft compressed and pushed it out like a syringe. Your mess is normal. No seal, the weep hole needs to be there to "protect" the spline seal. It vents compression and vacuum from the shaft telescoping.

what do you mean by 5/8" of play. almost sounds like the slip yoke is hosed. this is the rear shaft we are talking about correct?

Back story: i bought the truck 2 months ago, from a guy that had it for 5 months, and he bought it from a friend of his mother-in-law or something, that moved to Vegas. And i think it had been sitting for a number of years. The tires that were on it literally started falling apart from dry rot, and many of the seals are failing. I have been doing something to it every weekend for 2 months.

I dont have a lot of tools, or a place really to work on it. So slow and go, money is tight😁
