Another FP2 With Grease In The Oil Galleries

Hi everyone. I have been social distancing with my FP2. I have not had any time to use it since purchasing it last year. Since the virus has shut everything down here in Canada I have suddenly plenty of time on my hands.
I modified a grease gun to pump Mobil Vactra 2 into the way galleries and was disappointed to find grease coming out of a hole in the sight gauge on the non operators side.
The machine runs great other than a small problem with the rapid transverse. I have to really press on the rapid transverse lever in order to get any axis to move at the highest speed.
I am assuming that all of the oil fittings have been serviced with grease. Will I have to tear the machine down to clean all the grease out?
