Dang it! Definite kathunk in the front end when I pulled her into the garage. Neck bearing for sure. <sigh>

I agree with the other posts about the grease weeping past the seal. It's gonna do that.

As for the neck bearing issue:
From time to time, the lock ring that keeps the bearing in adjustment will work loose, and as a result, the front end will pick up that distinctive "clunk" you mentioned.
I'm willing to take a chance to say that might well be your issue, since you had the neck bearings replaced in the recent past, and that would account for the excess spooge comin' out of the bottom of the neck.
Keep us posted, and I hope everything turns out ok!
