Uh oh here we go! Green fluid

Do you have a lift? Steep hill could have put the driveshaft at an angle like a lift kit will do and caused grease to slowly exit the boot. The pic you posted shows what looks like grease that has been there a while, not new.

Is this something an aftermarket driveshaft will take care of?

Yes.
I believe Teraflex (and others) make a replacement CV joint kit, high angle Rprezza for the front driveshaft to put it back in geometry of stock. If you don't get it lined back up it will throw all the grease out over time and destroy the Rprezza joint. Or you can get an aftermarket driveshaft custom made for your lift.

Yup, check the front joint and see if there is wear up there. With extreme articulation the joint will start eating the outer sleeve

Yeah a Clayton 2.5 which is really a 3.5. Pretty extreme I think

How long are your front shocks? I believe anything above 28 inches extended gets the shaft beyond it's happy zone

Tom Woods makes some good driveshafts with outstanding customer service.

Yep, my shaff is a Woody.
