I understand that this may have fallen out at some point during operation, which is not right.

I will make a suggestion to have these threaded in as well.

Thank you Sasha for the fast reply, I am curious to hear Comp's response on the cause and what they would like to do. One of my concerns with the grease fitting falling out is that the grease when heated in the turbo liquefies and is supposed to cool/lubricate the turbo from what has been described to me about these oil-less turbo's. Without the fitting there I can only assume that the grease has now leaked out basically running the turbo somewhat dry or just not efficiently lubricated/cooled by the grease anymore possibly causing this turbo to prematurely to wear.
