I don't think water crossings are causing problems for people with rusty splines. Most of us wont ride through water deep enough to submerge the rear swingarm boot.
I think this current generation of boot does not seal as well as previous versions.
Water could be seeping in while riding in rain or the bike sitting out all night in a heavy rain.
Any luck getting the final drive separated from the driveshaft.
