Hi All,
Life got very stressful and busy but I need your help.

Sound coming from left front wheel (drivers in case I'm wrong on the LEFT thing). Sounds like water coming from the downspout when it rains on your house. Or light grinding but not.

Sound doesn't change when the wheel turns or goes over bumps. Sound doesn't get louder or softer with turns or the speed of the car. Does make a different sound from still to moving, like at a light or stop sign. Like it doesn't really want to go but does. Car drives and turns fine, nothing in the feel of the wheel or the way the car moves. Turned wheel and looked behind from both front of it and behind. Nothing leaking or wet. BUT the cap on the bunt (sp?) seems to be leaking grease around it. It's wet. Bearings?

After being on the highway for about 8 miles at 65-70mph, the sound stopped and I couldn't get it to start again after several turns and bumps, stops and starts. Soundless all the rest of the way home, maybe 5 miles.

Any idea what it could be and even more important, is it something that makes the car undrivable until it's looked at? Gotta have my car for work and right now I'm the ONLY person working in my kitchen. No employees there right now so if I'm not there, there is no kitchen.

Thanks!
