Subject: [Leica] Lubricating grease for helical focusing gears

I have just purchased a 50mm, 2.8 LSM lens in great shape, but I think it 
needs lubricating grease on the helical focusing gears. There appears to be 
no grease on these gears now, and the focusing ring moves very loosely. I 
think that grease would actually provide some smoothing resistance (I know 
that is a little "counter intuitive"). Anyway, does anyone have any 
suggestions as to a source for the proper type of grease to use?
Regards,
