Glad you found the problem. If you get tired of having to oil your dustcaps frequently, you could pull them out and file out the inner diameter just a bit. The tolerance shouldn't be that tight.

I definitely will fix it properly! I had to oil it again this morning about halfway to work. That'll get old in a hurry.
This will keep me going until the weekend, though, when I have time to figure out how it comes apart. (I'm not much of a mechanic!) I may just haul it down to the shop and make them do it!
Thanks again for the advice.

Deb, you continue to amaze me. Your thorough knowledge of bikes is incredible.
What did this forum do for technical advice before she came along??"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."
