Either buy a new cv axle for like 100 bucks, take it out and reboot it. Plenty of videos on how to do it
Personally id buy a new one as cheap as they are

If you can't fix it properly right now. Clean the area around the hole on the boot then cover it with some rtv

You can tell when youz drove on it too long when either
A the boot finally breaks open...
B Starts clicking when turning
But if im nkt crazy the cv axle on our trucks aren't rotating all the time only when in 4wd.. so your fine for now

Like stated buy a new CV shaft when you can.
I bought an OEM Ford one for $250, but you can get aftermarket for under $100. Forget about replacing the boot only it's a PITA I tried it you need to disassemble the entire shaft, I gave up.
IF I had to do it all over again, I'd probably just get the aftermarket because for 90% of driving your in 2WD, and the CV shaft doesn't even spin...........

The only thing I could think is it could be my leveling kit I put on before the snow flew and then I had to throw it into four hi acouple times this winter already? I'm running a 2.5 rcx
