Question ... A month or so ago I noticed gear oil leaking from the drivers side rear axel. Took it to the "grease monkey" across the street from my office - along with a new seal. He replaced the seal, the leak stopped and yesterday I heard a noise. Not actually a noise, but the bus tire/wheel sounded different on the drivers side rear .. When I stopped I noticed leakage again. Took it back to the "Grease Monkey" and he said I needed to replace the bearing and seal .. that the bearing being bad, made the seal go bad ..
So my questions are: Does this sound right ?? If the bearing was bad would I have noticed anything other than what I mentioned above ?? Is this something I need to RUSH to fix ?? Can a "Grease Monkey" do the job ?? Or should I take it to a REAL mechanic ?? What should I expect to pay ??
Thanks, Diane
