    I often find on them excess oil there from as 60 years of not being cleaned. A little will get past the slinger. Clean it up, re grease with a THIN coat, and all should be good. Unless the bearing is shot.

    I guess you will know if the head gasket is damaged, rings stuck, etc… when you investigate.
