Grease from rear bearing

Since my rear bearing failure recently I've been somewhat paranoid in keeping an eye on them and have noticed small amounts of grease coming from one, the other is totally clean. Interestingly this is the side that didn't fail on track before but being the near side, probably got more stick.

I've not looked at my old bearings to compare but would image this isn't normal!

Removed the bolt and re torqued it to 175nm. Not sure I trust my torque wrench mind you as it seems to click away fairly quickly IMO but I don't really know what 175nm feels like :)

Had this for 6 years still working fine

When i replaced my genuine Renault rear discs they didn't have the grease outside the bearing like yours do but it had only been used on the road.
I would think the grease has melted and got past the seal.
