This is on the AA kit for the D300 to AX15 set up. The sealed bearing is the culprit of a substantial consistant leak.
The kit has a new bearing retainer that is used for installing the supplied sealed bearing. I don't know if this is supposed to fit this loose, but the new bearing goes in/out by hand with little pressure. This results in gear oil getting by (weather it's from the loose fit out it's getting through the bearing, I don't know??) and leaking a decent size puddle every night. Any input from others?? I have not been able to get in touch with AA. I thought the whole point of the sealed bearing set up for this very reason??
