I see the "glow" in a circle around the A/C line itself where it
meets this junction type fitting.  I didn't see any bolts, so not sure how
it is connected.  The line runs right into this area.  A picture would be
better to show what I mean.

Mine isn't bolted and am almost sure it has one of the "C" type
clips that holds it in place on the shaft.  It is the inner boot that is
throwing a bit of grease (closest to the transmission).  There is also a
very slight shimmy at times when accellerating at high speeds which I'm
sure is the same trouble spot.  It is very minor right now, but on my
"watch" list.  :)
