Grease Gun Leaking Noob Question

I recently got a new grease gun and it's been leaking like crazy is this normal? Is the grease still good? I put some paper towels down to catch it but I have to replace them every few weeks it soaks through.

 

Yes mine leaks as well not quite as bad as yours looks to be leaking. I have wondered if it is the type of grease I have in the gun because I don't remember having this issue years ago when I was a service tech. Maybe it was because I was using it more often. You may be able to slow your's down by putting some thread sealer on the threaded connections.

 

They all do this, how much depends on what grease you use. We use Mobil 1 SHC at work and during the summer it makes a mess for sure. Been using Traveller Marine and Offroad at home and it leaks a little bit during the summer. Completely normal.

 

Thanks for the information guys!
