While flying Friday, that I thought was oil quickly began spreading over my canopy. It turned out to be #5 grease from my prop hub.
After a safe landing, I removed the spinner and found grease had squirted out of one of the 4 zerk fittings.
The prop and assembly is about 15 months old, and has ~125 hrs on it.
Question 1; Has anyone ever heard of this before?
Second point, I was very saddened to see 2/4 forward spinner flange bolts had failed by stripping out the threads. (see pic).
Question 2; Has anyone else experienced this?
