On my bearing, the whitish stuff you are referring to is a clear epoxy. It looks like Jim used a different material on yours. Inside that stuff is a brass(?) cup that holds the oil and sapphire thrust pad.
I really doubt any appreciable oil was lost by having the table upside down for 30 minutes. It likely just re-lubed the polymer sleeve. There should be enough oil in the well to last a lifetime. A drop or two on the shaft/sleeve once a year would be all you need. In fact, my bearing came dry and I added the oil, but after the modification, Jim shipped the bearing back in a small box with the well full. It was probably upside down and sideways for a long time in transit.
However, if you are ocd like me and most audio dudes, you can take a look by removing the two small screws underneath while keeping the bearing upright so as not to spill the oil. You can then fill the well if needed. On reassembly, be careful aligning the black o-ring that seals the well to the housing so it doesn't leak when tipped.
I don't know what kind of oil was used, but if you're in the U.S., I can send you mine. Jim gave me the smelly gear lube after installing the bronze sleeve and I have no use for the oil that came originally. PM me your address if you want it.
