Default Grease seperation

Why is it when grease sits for a while an oily liquid seperates out? I am only asking as this liquid is MUCH less viscous than the grease and tends to leak out of whatever it is I am greasing and makes a mess.

Is it cheap grease? Am I using the wrong type of grease? I used this grease in my stearig linkage and steering box and the car set up for many months. This liquid is running out and when I look in the grease can there is a puddle of the stuff.

:confused:

I get that even with the Mobil1 synthetic, and it ticks me off too. Always a mess to clean up. :mad
