Anybody ever seen this before? I don't have a clue what would cause it. I was using my old Rockwell mill for some drilling ops, and noticed this. Weird eh?

The quill gets lubrication....seems as if you just oiled it and it ran out.
 
Don't worry about it. Better having some oil than no oil
 
I have been oiling it more often than I would regularly. I bought it from a high school, and don't know how long it's been sitting idle. I didn't want to take the head apart, so I thought the least I could do is flood it with new oil over a few months. It doesn't really get any use yet. Anyways, I'm not worried. I just thought it was different.
