The rear wheels of my C43 routinely get what looks like watery rust residue inside the holes for the wheelnuts. Does anybody else get this on late 90s Mercs? I haven't taken a wheel off to check yet but I'm wondering if it is coming off the wheel hubs.

Thanks

It wouldn't be copper grease perchance?
