Hmm, Not having ever been into one of those but hearing lots of bad stories as you have, what I am seeing is that the “E” clip is CLEAN indicating to me that nothing is leaking. Yes some bit of grease has been forced out over time but I’m thinking if there IS a leak then even that “E” clip would be goopy.
Better luck with the next opinion. [ so what I’m saying is “I wouldn’t worry about THAT” but, what do I know.
