Grease on the rear passenger wheel

On the way home from the SE area meet last night NeilD and I did a greenlane on the way home. On my way home after that I felt some vibration at higher speeds 70mph. I thought the wheels were unbalanced and stopped to remove some big lumps of mud. This was fine and sorted out the vibration. However, I noticed that the rear passenger side wheel had some fresh grease on it.

Could this just be that some mud has pushed the gaiter out and so grease has come out, or is it more serious? Any thoughts? What should I do? Thanks in advance.

Sounds like a split gator. Wipe all the grease off and then look closely for any split in the rubber. Full lock both ways and move it forward 12 inches and check again. Bodsys Brake Bible
