Unhappy Well I really did it now!!!

I rotated my tires this weekend and while I had the wheels off, I greased the ball joints. When I did, I think I blew one of the grease boots. This is because a whole bunch of old grease cam out from the sides of it. My question is: Is this something that I need to fix/change? This is my first truck, so excuse me if this is a stupid question. Someone told me that it is perfectly fine to leave it as it is and just grease it up more often.
Any help would be great!

Yup just make sure you grease it often. Every time You grease it you move the water out and put more grease in it.
