Oil in Belly

[wslade2]

is your oil level dropping? Is your hydraulic fluid level dropping? I believe you are describing the main gear actuator. nothing should make the grease that hot. Could it be grease wetted/mixed with hydraulic fluid? ie, maybe you have hydraulic leak of main gear actuator. Also, brake line passes through that area. Old brake fluid can look funky. Brake function? Brake fluid level?
