And if you want to check if the font bearing is leaking, whilst its running, spray some brake cleaner on the front bearing, if the motor dies your bearing is leaking.
ya, I was looking at the ceramic bearings that are affordable. Just change that one I guess. The main seems fine.
Question about that brake cleaner spray: How do I get it on the bearing with the clutch in the way?
I don't want that stuff inadvertently spraying all over the rest of my car. Especially on the clutch.
2nd question: Could brake cleaner spray be used to check the rest of the crank case for hard to see cracks/leaks?
