    Well it was one race and one bearing into the hub, the guy pounded the hub. I'm just not sure went it happened. I didnt notice it in the night 4am when I started driving, during pre-trip. I noticed it when I stopped off at a TA to use bathroom. oil on frame. Its heavy black oil on a black painted frame. I had 550 miles in from start of morning. To clarify its the front set of drive wheels that had the bearing leak. Oil was all over brakes. Inside bearing seal leak driver side. There is weird wear on the tire there too.
