Well, now you did it. That oil should not be in there, you should have grease. But untill you can replace your worn out axle oil seal and bushing, do this. That little screw is the trunnion socket grease plug. Screw in the plug a turn or two and using a grease gun start filling the ball with grease using the steering arm grease zert. As you fill, you should hear air being pushed out. If not back the screw out untill you do. Fill untill no more air comes out. You'll probably need 1-1/2 to 2 tubes of grease to fill. But do rebuild that front end as soon as you can.
