The hubs will shed a little bit of grease if they get really hot (excessive
braking or just plain out hot outside and long drives)...normally nothing to
worry about. If it's excessive, change the hub.

Subject: DML: Lube coming from front driverside dust cap

I had the spindle, rotor and inner & outer bearings replaced on the front
driver side in November 2003. now i look at the wheel near
the dust cap and a smudge of lube exists all around that area.

is this something I should worry about? is this a leak?
i cleaned the wheels not too long ago so i know its
not from the road. and its not brake dust cause its very oily. looks like
lube to me.

what gives? i think the warranty on the work expires soon.
