Konica 50mm 1.7 lens aperture SLIGHTLY sticky. Looking for input before I return or buy a different one

My 50mm 1.7 Hexanon AR aperture leaves are just ever so slightly sticky. When use the DoF preview button after not touching the camera for a day, it takes a second for the leaves to fully land in place after I push the button, but after that first movement, they seem to work properly and without delay when I look at them and fire the camera or DoF preview. Anyone know if that will affect picture quality? My thought is that even if I can't see a delay after the initial stick, it could still be delayed enough to affect the picture quality and maybe overexpose an image. Before I spend money on film or a new lens, has anyone had this issue? Anyone resolved it?

Edit: I should add, there is a bit of visible, shiney oil on the blades.
