Looks like you had some water intrusion.While i know i will catch some flak for this i disagree with just the grease in the newer VS reels much better the old way with the oil and grease system.I really think Vs only went to grease because of the inconsistency of the seal manufacturer and many reels would leak oil from the get go and get returned for service.My point is you probably have a bad quad seal.
