thanks for the tips guys I'm sure this will save me a lot of time and trips to the hardware store.
this is the warmup round, next up is something on my front axle, not sure the parts name but it looks like a black plastic bellows or accordian kinda. All I know is that behind it lies lots of axle grease, which is now leaking through a small crack in this part.
I'll prolly leave that to the pros tho.
