Transrotor Zet3 questions


Hoping someone can give some input, I think I know the answers, but just want to confirm.

I just recently purchased a very slightly used  (I think it was only 6 months use) Transrotor Zet 3 with TMD bearing.

During the boxing/packaging (mostly at this point) and during a long drive home, some oil came out of the bottom bearing socket. Im not sure if its best to empty it all out and start from the beginning? I'm also trying to figure out the best way to empty it out. Or do I risk trying to just add like 1cc of new oil on the ball and axle and let the extra flow down? 

- Other question is, it seems like the spindle on this is taller than a standard TT spindle, so I'm assuming only Transrotor record weights can be used?

If it becomes necessary to clean out a bearing well with tissue paper, I recommend photographic lens paper, which is constructed so as not to leave behind tiny fragments of paper. You don't want such fragments in the bearing.
