Ruger Red Label ?

[Possum]

I have a Red Label purchased about 3-4 years ago.  It has not been shot very much.  Usually a couple of days for dove season and maybe a duck trip once a year (the kind where you shoot about 4-5 times).  I have been noticing grease coming from where the barrels meet the receiver.

 I thought it would quit after it was fired for a while, but now I am thinking that gas is escaping from this joint.  It looks like thick lube that you use on rifle actions when they are stored for a while.  I can wipe it off and then it is right back to oozing out after the next shot.  Is this normal for R. Labels?  At first thought I am thinking the barrels are not matched correctly to the receiver. 

If I can get my dig camera from a friend, I will take a pic or two and post.

I'd check with Ruger. They stand behind their products pretty well.

I have one of the first ones off the line from 1979..the 20 gauge with the blue receiver and I have never had that problem..give Ruger a call would also be my advice..to much  Comosoline!
