Red grease on nose gear door - anything to worry about?

[toto]

So it’s blazing hot, unusually hot for June. Near 100 degrees. 

I found a little dollop of red grease inside the pilot's side nose gear door, apparently left there from another hot day about a week ago. So I wiped off the grease and flew today - after landing, had some more grease in the same spot. 

At the last annual in March, the shop had gotten a bit enthusiastic with the grease gun, and I’ve had red grease oozing from the gear everywhere since then. 

But this is the first time I’ve seen a glob of grease smeared on the gear door. I’ve been assuming it was just related to the blazing heat outside, maybe making the grease slightly thinner than usual. But I dunno. 

Is there anything to worry about with this?

Mobil 28 grease is red and so is Mobil wheel bearing grease.  Look for signs of the nose wheel spitting grease out.  If it is, you might want to raise the nose and spin the wheel to make sure it still has grease in the bearing.

My advice….

make sure you keep the steering horn well greased (if nothing else)
