Everything looks new b/c I clean the underside quite often! I installed these control arms and new suspension set up this time last year. I'll keep an eye on it.

Put a zirk in that threaded hole that looks to be empty on the side in the one photo.... that could be your source of leaking.

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

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.
