Leaking seal or bedding in?

All, it's been a while but I'm looking for some advice on problems I'm having with a 1 week old SuperSix Evo 5.

Obviously it's a BB30 crank which I've never had before (I've been HT2 with Trek) but I've just noticed that the grease seems to be coming out of the crank and spreading over the pedals and cassette.

Is this normal because it's so new or does this sound like that seals have gone?

Appreciate any advice.

Thanks. image.jpg

I'd say that doesn't seem normal to me, grease should stay in the bottom bracket, either there was too much grease added at some point or there's a crack in the bottom bracket cup or a seal has failed.

Thanks 'the_mikey'. I have spoken to my LBS and they have told me that the white grease is coming from the crank arm itself as it is bedding in grease!!
