Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I really don't think so, could be wrong but none as far as I'm aware. Consider yourself extremely lucky that you've got a sign that it's failing, and not an outright failure like some others have had. It sucks I know, and it's not going to be nice finding 2,500, but when it's done you know you've done it properly and it's saved from going again. Sorry to hear
POST 3Original post
Why is a dripping crankshaft seal 2.500? And did you understand why a intermediateshaft don't drip? Or what the difference between an intermediate shaft (bearing) and a crankshaft seal is? Maybe you should investigate into that. Regards, Markus

I've assumed you've taken a look at the actual bearing itself and concluded that it's got a leak. If not then yeah, follow Smallblock's advice.
