I cleaned up old solid froze grease from fitting in the middle of torque tube, the fitting sticks out about 3/4" and now leaks oil, why is it leaking oil, does the fitting that lubes mid shaft bearing need repaired??? Any info appreciated.

If the ball was removed from the grease fitting is it possible it was put there to drain any grease that may get past the pinion seal ?
