I noticed that a sealed bearing on a recently installed timing belt idler sprocket had leaked some of its grease. It was in service since February of this year.
I don't know anything about sealed bearings so I was wondering if this is normal?
The idler still spun alright. Smooth but maybe (ie it could be in my head) a bit stiffer than I remember it being when new. I removed it from service due to paranoia but am wondering what the bearing "experts" would have done.
