Annular Axle seeping

Routine inspection, found a thin coating of grease emanating from here (cleaned up a bit for photo):



Boots are good, flange seal is good. Only thing I can think of is the allen bolts here need some tightening. Found this in the FSM:



I don't understand the "threads and bolt head surfaces oiled."
My understanding is that these bolts need loctite?

Plan is to remove, clean, loctite and reinstall one by one until I'm done.

Anyone had this issue?
