bad axel/cv joint?!/

[boostd-spyder96]

ok i have a 2g and recently i will hear a clicking noise every so often when i turn(doesnt happen alot tho)..so i thought it was my cv joint..but when i looked under the car none of the boots were torn.so i was wondering how else you can tell if my axel or cv joint is bad..i've also started noticing oil spots under the car when it sits for awhile(im thinking trans fluid).it looks like it might be leaking from where the axel goes in to the trans...could my seal just be bad???any help???

change to transmission fluid and see if it goes away. push the boot in to see if there is any grease inside of it.

Just because the boot is not ripped or torn doesn't mean your cv joints aren't damaged.
