The green oil is really green CV joint grease. have the boot replaced as soon as you can to prevent damage to the joint.

Suggested Repair

Replace the torn CV boot as soon as possible so the joint does not lose grease and become damaged. The green fluid is CV joint grease, not oil.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1998 Chevrolet Blazer noticed green fluid splattering from the front right CV boot but reported no noise or driving symptoms and asked whether only the boot or the whole joint needed replacement. The expert identified the fluid as CV joint grease and recommended replacing the boot promptly to prevent joint damage.
