Constant Speed Prop Hub problem?

Folks,

I'm in the middle of my condition inspection, and having pulled the prop spinner I'm finding some grease being slung from the McCauley Hub. It's not much. Had a little bit over the last couple of years, but this is quite a bit more. Is this a problem or normal operating conditions.

The prop is an RV200 from Whirlwind.

And here's the total accumulation over 350 hours.

How many hours on the prop / hub?

Others have reported similar grease slinging with this prop. IIRC, it has a recommended tear down and reseal at 650-hours.
