It still isn't sitting well with me and while I greatly appreciate Sasha's support, I can't help but hold onto some concern as to why it happened even time I give it a boot, and if I could just nail down the reason hopefully I can take some pre-emptive action and possibly help someone else identify signs to look out for.
Regardless. I've since cleaned off the marks, and keen to see if it'll happen again.

I know this grease gets hot enough to liquify somewhat, and if perhaps the spring behind ball on grease zerk is a tad weak, I can see some seeping past it & causing a little buildup.
Options would be like what Caterpillar & some other Heavy Equipment vehicle’s have, would be to have a removable plug & then install grease zerk, lube, remove & plug.
Meritor also uses this on some of their HD truck suspension applications
