Oil on Heat Bed - photo

I have oil that keeps coming up on the heat bed on my new MK3S.
I purchased it assembled. I clean it off with Window and/or Dawn and it keeps returning.
This is my 7th Prusa and I’ve never seen this before.

One person on Facebook suggested that this could be a step was missed and the Bearings did not get greased?

Thoughts? And Thank you

Steve

Interesting... I would say that definitely doesn't come from above and it appears only where bolts are. To me it looks like bolts would be lubricated at some point and now oil is coming up due capillary action.
I would definitely disassemble the heat bed and try to find the reason. At that time I would thorough clean whole heat bed & related parts, to get rid of any oil/grease.

Prusa support is looking into this. I sent them more photos and waiting to hear back from them.

Was there ever a resolution for this? I am currently having the same issue.
