Greg,
Welcome to the world of IMS confusion. I think the oil in the tube was leaking out over time through the seals and the bearing was on its last hoorah before failing. If you can... can you pull the cages out of the bearing and pop the balls out to inspect? I am quite curious if there is any discoloration in there. Like I said earlier in the thread, I believe Porsche didn't use grease in the earlier bearings, if the bearing was submerged in engine oil I could see oil washing in, but there is only an oil spray at best. so oil must of been washing out of these bearings.
Tim
