Yeah, me neither.   Trust me, it was there at one point, not too long ago.   
What you couldn't see in the close-up photos was that there was grease residue 
all over the surface of the hub.   The grease seemed to transform to oil as 
the heat built up, and then all leaked out, apparently?

I got both spindles off today (passenger side seems fine), and will shortly 
dismantle them both.   I aim to see if the passenger side is adequately 
lubricated or not.

Lessons have been learned, no doubt!

Mike
