Ouch...seems like a problem with some of the bearings around the same years as your bike...

Just glad I didn’t have a catastrophic failure on the road. I literally just got back from 1500 mile road trip and was cleaning my bike up and thats when I noticed the seal leaking which caused me to investigate. I have it all apart now and just waiting on new bearings and one more seal to come in so i can put it back together

 

Yes, at least it held together for you long enough to get home. Good luck with the rest of it.
