You are for sure adding too much grease to your hub with your Bearing Buddy if you are seeing it come out of the zerk fitting. You're somewhat lucky as normally this blows out the grease seal instead on the opposite side of the hub which causes brake issues as well as potentially damages the hub. I would recommend not trying to add any more grease to the hub as it seems to be plenty full. If it continually keeps oozing out of the zerk fitting then that has failed.
