It may be overfilled/bad on the seals, but if they don't, I'm always scared none/ not enough was going in there. When it leaks somewhat at the zerks insert, it's hard to tell how much is actually getting to where it needed to go unless it glops out the seals.
Try new grease zerks. The moment the head on the grease gun doesn't seal to a new zerk is the moment I replace the head on the gun.
