Default Dust cap?

I washed my car and noticed grease on the rear rims. Naturally I looked to see where it came from and the obvious place is the rear axel. It turns out that I don't have a rear dust cap on either side. I checked the service manual and I don't see one in the schematic. So my question is, do the Crossfires come with the rear dust .... or grease caps or not. If so, I need to jump on it asap. (save me the embarrassment of asking at the dealer please) (you guys don't embarrass me .... much)

No dust caps on the rear.

That's what I thought, just never noticed before. Now I need to investigate why I have some axel grease seeping out.

It could be a sign that it might be getting time for a new wheel bearing or a cv joint if there's grease leaking out. Just a thought though.
