I must concur with Scott....Altough the oil bearing problem is like the chicken and the egg (what came first) i also truly feel that both are realted...in what order i honest could not guess, becasue i have not beenfaced witht the issue, but in either case i feel oil and the brearing are the issue!!!!!
