Grease Loss After Rebuild
 
So I have completed the driver's side axle tear down and repack. I included the popular, homemade vent tube when I did. After my last track day, I had some grease loss. Does this amount of loss seem concerning/abnormal? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...07cc2c416e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...664b3eb7ac.jpg

well, any venting of a sealed greasy system is going to result in expelling of grease.

i'd say it's less of a problem, and more just simple physics.

Might trim the tube a little closer to the seal. ( 1/8" ?)
Spinning around off center will bend it out more than at rest.
Get a siphon going? Dunno. Possible?
