I am doing my annual inspection. I note a small amount of grease leaking
from one of the blade/hub seals. See the attached picture.

I can go to Hartzell for guidance and probably will, but I thought someone
out there in the Lancair flyers group might have seen this type of thing on
their prop and could provide comments.

I have 1310 Tach hours on the prop/engine. I grease the prop annually with
AeroShell #6.

Well, it is not going to heal itself.  Was there much grease on the inside of the spinner?  Did it take more than usual when you re-greased it?  A prop reseal is about half the cost of an overhaul.  If it is close to overhaul time, maybe that should be done, otherwise consider having the prop resealed.
