[W126 Coupe] Fluid out of wheel center

[Tim Graney]

The Mercedes Synthetic grease is bright green. It is probably seeping
out from the grease cap.

Hm....well, one thought is wheel bearing grease?  I think some of that
synthetic stuff is green.
 
What type of brake fluid do you have in there and what color is that?
 
What else is green - coolant?  But how the heck would that get there?  I
don't know what type coolant is in your SEC but I run the MB stuff in
mine which isn't green anyway.
 
Was it liquidy, greasy?

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?
