My indie noted that the actuator motor seal is leaking and that the symptoms are of the actuator failing. Is this plausible?
I wasnt getting the grinding, but I was getting a funny type of whiring when accelerating.. about 4-6 months later, i got the dreaded yellow 4x4, yellow ABS and red brake lights..

Still waiting to get my car back (been in the shop for nearly 2 weeks), but it looks as though the actuator is/was the culprit...
