gharari, here is good info about the CV Boots from the PCA Tech site:
"The replacement would depend on what the definition of leaking is. Should the boot become completely compromised allowing the grease to be expelled from the CV then it should be replaced. The boot not only retains the grease in the CV but it also keeps out foreign material such as dirt and sand. The dirt and sand mixed in the grease can be as devastating as it being un-lubricated.
The boot can also leak from the ends by the clamps. Under a condition such as this would not require a full replacement. The reason being is that the CV has not been exposed to the outside elements or suffered substantial grease loss.

gharari, are your boots just leaking? Or is the joint exposed??
