Default switch to grease?

We are running a boye' & Emmes 18 inch engine lathe. Currently we are
lubricating the main shaft with drip feed oil resevoirs even at a slow
rate and with 680 iso semi synthetic oil it leaks out of the bearings
dripping oil all over the machine and the surrounding floor. We are
wondering if we should switch to automatic grease feed cups with some
sort of synthetic grease so as to stem off the lubricating leaks.
Thanks in advance.
