With that front bearing, it may be oozing a little due to the motor being rich still. If you put plenty of oil in the motor (pre lube as you did), it is also quite common for the oil to seep out of the front bearing.
If itīs just seeping out and not leaving the motor really wet underneath after you have run it, it is probably OK - still at only $15 for a new one itīs not a biggie to replace it just in case.
Do you know someone with a bearing tool to make the job easy ?

Hopefully we can catch up at the track and put a tune on that motor for you - when this bloody rain stops. At 18 tanks it is more than ready to be tweaked
Yea the front bearing only has a slight weep so I will save it for when I change the rod and fit the ceramic rear bearing as well.
I have a bearing puller kit so I should be able to change it. ( Im a fitter welter and have worked for 12 years recoing gearboxes so I should be able to do it)

Cheers
