Transmission Fluid can make rubber expand check for leaks. as will and petroleum based oil if you used a grease gun on the boots make sure you used lithium grease. coulld be you filled them with too much grease or if you have Power Steering you might have fluid leaking into boots. if it has power steering fluid in the boot the grease will be really runny and you need a new rack and pinion.

How do I know if my power steering pump went out if my power steering fluid is low or if it is my steering column that is broken?
If you are losing fluid, you need to find out where it is going. Usually it is pretty easy to find most leaks: out of the seals on the pump, out of the lines or cooler, out of the steering gear, or out of the rack and pinion. Sometimes you'll have to poke a small hole in the rubber boot on the rack and watch for fluid coming out. Your steering column wouldn't be the problem. Hope this helps.

If you put a tiny amount of hydraulic power steering fluid in brake fluid will that cause a problem?
Yes it can, depending on what amount "a tiny amount" is. The fluids in cars today are specifically designed for their purpose. Brake fluid is designed to withstand heat (minimal expansion when heated), absorb moisture and interact with other materials such as rubber and does not lubricate like power steering fluid does. Lubricating oils (engine oil, Power steering fluid, Grease) attack the things they come in contact with making them slippery, but in contact with things like Rubber seals, the rubber will expand and sooner or later cause a failure.
