thanks Adrian ...... I put the car up tonight and noticed the inner boot on the outer CV joint is leaking oil ..... I will tend to it tommorrow .... on the seizing category though, a few years back I did lose a back tire on a Jetta due to bearing seizure, fortunately I had just reduced speed from 80mph to 35 to get off at a highway exit, and then it happened ..... the bearing had seized and the wheel had gotten so hot that the nut on the wheel looked like it was welded to it ...... once I reduced speed and the thing started cooling down, it became solid and snapped right off, sending the wheel into on coming traffic ....... when I recovered it, the hub was attached to it and had a blue_ish color, due to heat and friction ...... thankfully no one was hurt but it was a lesson I learned the hard way, not to ignore little noises from the wheels.
