Not really serious. Some brands/types of grease will seperate over time, meaning the oily base, which is thin, will seep past a good but slightly worn seal.

The hubs should be cleaned & re-packed ev. 1-3 yrs., depending on the kind of use. (deep water, probably the next day)

Just new grease will likely stop the seepage but best to insp. the seal/gaskets for cracks, etc.

They're pretty easy to service.., just need to be clean & parts put back in, in the same order, & some parts facing the same (correct) way.
