Message	Long enough and/or consistently enough to stain the bearing. Crazy ....I've never seen that before, you think it's oil or something that was mixed in with the oil. Ie gas mixing with the oil and after the Z is shut off it may not be driven for long periods of time and the oil, gas, and water separate and one of those leaves a nice stain???
