That threaded hole has an allen set screw in it. It is leaking out of the zerk fitting that faces down.

Mine drip too. I put small rubber caps on the grease fittings and that solved the issue. I have to keep my grease gun in a plastic bag in the tool cabinet as it tends to drip also.

Grease zerks shouldn`t leak, they have a check ball for that. If they do just replace them. Grease, especially non synthetic grease can liquify over time especially when exposed to high heat. See how close it the BJ is to the sometimes screaming hot brake rotors? David`s right, just grease it until only clean, thick grease comes out and carry on. :) Mark SC&C
