   i dont like bare grease anywere to be honest... unless greasing points are covered with a rubber sleeve or something... as grease has a nasty tendancy to attract shite loads of grit and dirt into the area... so unless you keep well ontop of it... could all go towards the opposite of what grease is designed for...

   is it definately coming from that area then?... umm... try duckoil... its like wd40 but doesnt evaprate... so maybe it will penetrate into the places where grease cant get to and sort it!... i use it on the rigs at work... good stuff...
