moly in tranny couldnt hurt (and probably didnt happen, flow most likely went the other way). if you have to change that small seal you might as well change the output shaft seal, but its not necessary.

  Subject: there's gear lube in my cv joint...


  well.... tonight has been rather interesting...  after getting the h2o pump out, and realizing that my wheel bearring is shot, and my rack boot is severd... i find this! see.. in order to get the strut/steering knuckle out, i realized that i didn't have the right size socket here at home to get the axel nut off.  so i thought, "well self, it's really no big deal to ge tthe WHOLE drive axel out, and dissassemble it at school."  so i started ripping and tearring at one more thing tonight.  then just as i was taking hte last allen bolt out of the drive flange, "drip, drip, (faster) drip, drip!" and then i realized that hmm... this aint supposed to be happening!  upon further inspection i noticed that the little seal(?) that's inside the drive flange was torn.  should i just replace the seal, and forget about it?  or could have some cv grease get in there and done something bad to my tranny?  
  thanks guys, tonight has been a rather interesting, patience trying night.
  later
