   I see the "glow" in a circle around the A/C line itself where it meets this   
   junction type fitting.  I didn't see any bolts, so not sure how it is   
   connected.  The line runs right into this area.  A picture would be better to   
   show what I mean.

   Mine isn't bolted and am almost sure it has one of the "C" type clips that   
   holds it in place on the shaft.  It is the inner boot that is throwing a bit   
   of grease (closest to the transmission).  There is also a very slight shimmy   
   at times when accellerating at high speeds which I'm sure is the same trouble   
   spot.  It is very minor right now, but on my "watch" list.  :)
