Did i cause this?

Changed my auto box fluid and transfer box oil today along with a normal service and I noticed this




Now I did the OS wheel bearing a couple of weeks back and I topped up the grease in both front swivel joints with One shot grease, they dont appear to have any drain plugs so I just put half in each one for good measure.

So have i caused this by having too much grease in there? :doh:

chrome ball worn but probably overfilled see if it steadies up and check with a stick to see still some in

The dampness looks normal so does the build up of grease into the 'V' shape, one shot is quite special part grease part oil. My swivels are black teflon but still look a bit like yours.

Cheers for the replies guys, I was thinking I had F***ed up and had a major job on my hands for the weekend.

Feel a lot happier now

if it aint leakin there aint oil/grease in it

If, you are loooking for something to do then you can remove the muck around the seal with something like a lolly stick

Theres still plenty to do have no doubts on that one!!

Fair bit of welding for the MOT in Sept, i could just plate it but going to put in 2 new rear arches and fabricate new bottom sections for both A posts as they are holed, plus bits on both cills at the rear require attention, rust around the alpine window on the NS and no doubt more rust will reveal it self as I strip it down to do the work required.

New suspension all round, been looking at that recently and the choice is mind boggling, front NS shock is leaking so prob next job on my list will be the suspension.

Not to mention that the electric seats packed up this week, then the leaking and very rattly sunroofs, they drive me crackers when open as they sound like they are falling off.

No doubt the list will go on. I took this photo last night and I am so in love with this motor, I want to keep it forever
