Default UMI roto joints leaking grease

Hey as the title states, I've got lower control arms and pan hard rod with roto joints, when I installed the parts I put two pumps of grease in and some leaked out of the hole where the set screw locks the removable piece of the joint. Is this normal? The joints feel great, ride perfect actually and corner great! Just wondering if this can be fixed or should I just make sure I grease it often.

Thanks

The grease followed the path of least resistance in this case. There's nothing to worry about.. I'd wipe off the excess and continue to enjoy the part!

Actually as posted above. The Roto-Joints aren't sealed or meant to be sealed. You should have no worries.

Awesome thanks guys, I was just a little worried, other than that great part! Totally changed how the rear of the car handles! So much more grip on launch to! But why surprised me the most is how they feel almost like stock over bumps and such.
