Bearing Buddy containment failure

[jtexas]

One of my bearing buddies has a leaky nipple, a thin string of grease. Toss it? or does anybody have a trick up their sleeve to make it stop?<br /><br />thanks,

Replace the zerk.

Toss it. Once they fail, they never work right. Tried it and ended up tossing it anyway. Replace the one that is bad and keep the other one as a spare...

Sounds as if the zerk fitting has some trash in it preventing it's check-valve function. Do as LubeDude said and replace the grease fitting.
