If the shop is local, I'd find out what they put in there. I'd want to know. Wheel bearing grease is not supposed to be water soluble. It's supposed to be very thick and gunky and NOT able to run out of the wheel and onto the cap. It's not supposed to run even if you hold a flame to it. This looks like some sort of Lithium grease to me. Did they give the job to some noodle-head who didn't know any better ??????
