grease coming out of the shaft vent hole

Having this happen now. The axle shaft is hollow and intended to vent . Grease is coming out of the center of the shaft. This first happened in March at the track; as a interim measure to salvage the weekend I tapped the center and put in a bolt. After the event the half shaft assembly was replaced.

Midway through the next event the same thing. Curious how Chris's issue was resolved - was it the wheel bearing or something else. This has my mechanic really puzzled.

thanks!

PS - we tapped both axle shafts as a precaution and this came in handy last weekend. hope this tip helPS others.
