Default grease seeping from gearbox at stub axels

so i was under the foz last night & noticed there is some grease seeping out of my gearbox where the front stub axels come out, is this normal? the stubs seem to be a bit loose when wiggled, is this normal or do i need new bearings/seals or something?

The grease is coming from inside the inner CV joint's, it leaks out through a core plug inside the female end of the splined part of the joint, they need to be repacked with the upgrade joint grease from SUbaru.

We do have the grease in stock and you would need new clips as well, I spoke to our parts guy, he said about $40 a tube for the grease and clips are $4-5 each. His number is 93097807, name is Mark.
