I've seen no evidence of semi liquid grease laying in the bottom of any bearing housing I've removed. Grease in the housing looks like it came fresh out of the gun, Grease right at the bearings looks worn out, but not the stuff around the spacer.

So you think the housing warms up enough to make the grease flow?
