What does the bearing support look like? You'll have to take the bearing and green cover off to get to it

I had a feeling that failed also. I wonder what failed first

Everything on that slave looks horrible--looks like it has been really hot for long periods of time

Yeah.

I highly doubt fluid caused this. The face of that bearing looks smashed in, wondering if that's what started it
