Light residue from the valve is normal and does not indicate a bearing cap or gasket concern. Excessive wetness or leaking from the blue or red purge valve will occur if the hub has been overfilled during a previous service or repair. The correct fill quantity and procedure is provided within the wheel bearing adjustment procedure. Refer to workshop manual (wsm), section 204-01.
