Oval shaped stars

I set up last night after balancing my mount (G11 with Gemini) to what I believe is to be correct. C/W slightly heavy on east side, and Ota slightly heavy at focuser end. Clutches up tight. Yesterday I pulled out the clutch pads and removed some grease that had made its way onto them. The first two subs were great, but thereafter I had egg shaped stars. My Guiding was very good, the graph was hardly moving! Nothing is binding or catching that might cause the scope to slip through the clutches. Must admit, this one has me stumped.
