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:)Jonathan

While cleaning the car yesterday, I noticed that my left front wheel had a leak out of its center.  I took the wheel off to get a better look and a few drops on the hub looked green.  I could not find an obvious source. The brake lines looked dry, the calipers had no obvious leaks and the front suspension components had no streaks that I could see. Any idea what could cause this?Regards, Axel J. Wulff610-731-5453 Cellular610-572-4611 Home
