    that65- I'm not scared, just more concerned about the equipment I operate. Oil just doesn't disappear unless there is a leak or being burned off from heat. And there is no signs of heat nor has the hub ever been hot to the touch during an inspection after long runs.

    I cannot see any reason for the mechanic at your shop not to have installed new seals when he had it apart for inspection, if in fact he actually had it apart, they are cheap insurance. Since you are aware and have a good attitude about maintenance this will, hopefully, be resolved in a timely manner and without incident.

    I wonder what happened? ... I'd use that Lucas with Stop Leak. That stuff works well.

    Definitely don't keep driving. Take a little time and inspect everything yourself. Don't trust a mechanic to look at all possible problems...my .02!
