2001 Forester CV Boot question

[A7N8X-X]

My outer boot is leaking on my 2001 Forester. I'm taking it to the dealer for repair. Any idea how much this repair can cost? I'm assuming the boot will need replaced. Thanx in advance.

If you're lucky and you caught it in time, only the boot will need
replacement.

I don't have numbers handy, but it'll be a lot less than an axle will
cost--which is what you'll need to replace if you don't repair the
boot, all the grease gets thrown out, and the CV joint gets
contaminated.
