[W126 Coupe] Fluid out of wheel center

[Jonathan]

I wouldn't worry too much, real MB wheel bearing grease is green, so I'm 
sure that's what's coming out. I like to seal my wheel bearing caps w/ 
Curil T (hylomar of sorts) to prevent that sort of thing from happening.

Next time you visit the shop (or you can do it yourself, it's not hard) 
ask them to run a bead of sealant around the wheel bearing caps...no 
more leakage:)
