My first impression of the photo is that its possible someone cleaned the grease
of the bearing tubes with gasolene or avgas, that would dissolve the blue foam.
There would be evidence for that in the form of a blue lacquering effect of the
dissclved styorofoam. The  solvent would not evaporate quickly because its 
almost fully enclosed. It would hang around and do a lot more damage.
