The bolt that acts as the pivot at the bottom of the lever is the usual point for the OD to sieze. In the past I have removed the bolt and cross drilled it and then fitted a grease nipple to the middle of the head of the bolt. That way you can keep it greased at the same time as you are greasing the other bits of your LR. It also helps to stop that annoying vibration that some OD levers develop.
