Let's get back to Matt's problem. He doesn't neccesarily have a knockback problem. He has a leak. I still feel the fluid gets through the bearing itself or a portion. Sealed bearings aren't meant to be submerged in oil. They should in theory be able to withstand it but I'm not so sure. I'm interested to see what Cris has cooking.
Well actually... Right now I have a knockback issue and not a leak. It's pretty bad I even notice it on the street.

Ok, about the sealed bearing, according to Kyle, it will leak oil if you autocross it just because so much load is put on that area. With that amount of stress, something is going to deform a bit and let oil through. I do find it interesting though that it continues to leak afterwards under normal driving. Maybe the housing wasn't straightened after it was welded, but I doubt it.
