 Re: 23 GDLT QUESTION?
99% sure its air pockets in the shaft housing, filling up with grease. if there is no grease slinging out from behind the prop or at the upper seal, its just air trapped.

 Re: 23 GDLT QUESTION?
On a long tail with that few hours it shouldn't have needed any grease. You either have lower seals that are bad or the grease return slot in the lower bushing is plugged. If the slot is plugged the grease picked up by the spiral grooves in the lower bushing can't return and gets pumped overboard. Take it back to the dealer or call GoDevil or both.
