I have the bosch 3.0 multi-tool, it is less than a year old. When I use it for a length of time, it starts oozing grease all over. The tool is great otherwise. I couldn’t run a productive business without it. I’m curious if others have had this problem and what has been done to correct it?
I did find this article on tool grease helpful to identify the right Bosch tool grease for my other Bosch tools.

ProThat is a bit of a bummer CRS! I haven’t had that happen to mine, but mine hasn’t seen nearly as much use as I bet yours has seen.
There are some other guys here who have this tool – curious to hear what they say.
Though we can also tag @boschtoolsservice to get some insight from customer service as well

ProYeah, that does not seem right — I would be taking it in to service before the warranty period ends. Maybe a loose seal of something.

April 18, 2014 at 11:01 pm #120445I heard sometimes the seals like MrToolJunkie was mentioning, can get put in a little crooked and can cause a leak. Sounds like an easy fix.
April 18, 2014 at 11:43 pm #120461I think the answer will be NO, but just had to ask: did you ever grease it yourself?
Sorry about the question, but just had to ask. Reason is, years ago I tried greasing a perfectly good drill – one of my first power tools. Like I said, I feel pretty confident you haven’t done it, but I ask just in case someone is reading this who might like to hear the answer. 🙂

April 19, 2014 at 12:20 am #120487Sounds like a seal on the bearing let go and it’s ozzing grease every where, not good at all. I bet it needs a new bearing.

InactiveI’ve never heard of that on those, And yeah like above I’m sure it’s just a seal and since it’s less then a year old they should fix it no problem. Good luck
April 19, 2014 at 7:28 am #120557Mine has never done that.I would definitely see about getting it fixed.

ProCRS- have you talked to Bosch customer service yet?
April 19, 2014 at 11:18 am #120682I wouldn’t have thought that an OMT had enough grease in it to leak any. Did it get misplaced somewhere some grease could get into it?
April 19, 2014 at 3:24 pm #120727Lol no I haven’t greased it. Never been misplaced, never loaned out.
@kevin6 I haven’t heard from bosch customer support yet.Will try and get it in to get checked out this next week
