PNW got warmer from yesterday, 80F and will be at it for Sat, and then it looks going back to 65s.
So, today after coming to work on my ProTour, I notice that the headset is putting out some grease (I used some Phil Wood grease) from bottom of the headset.
Did a quick check and it seems tight and handlebar seems right.

Is this because the warmer temp and grease becoming more 'liquid' and finding its way out compared with 50F that was a week ago?
Any better grease to use that is good for higher temps?
