What is absolutely baffling me is why no one can seem to offer any suggestion to why I had to re-grease the turbo, half way through it's normal service interval with an amount well over the standard recommended amount (by COMP themselves no less)... with a Turbo that has since been confirmed there was a batch of them with some kind of zerk fitting issues. 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
Rusty and sx moneypit like this.
