After looking again and thinking about it the plunger type bit does have a bit where a rubber seal would of gone so a syringe it is i guess. Thanks for your help.

Looks a little like a grease gun that we use at work.... also small, place on grease nipple and pump it a couple of times to feed grease. At the end of the shaft, it does look like the little fitting that is used on these grease pumps. Does the shaft have a hole right through it?

God bless
