If the new bearing isn't 100% could it be getting hot and making the grease go to oil and then be flung out? If it was a CV boot i'd imagine to see lumps of flung grease in the arch.

As others have said, a split CV joint makes a real mess, and you've already ruled out brake fluid. From your description of the sound and the ABS light, the likely culprit is the bearing, and since it was only replaced a few weeks ago, it looks like they didn't fit it correctly or damaged it. When you get a chance, jack the wheel up and try and move the wheel East-West and then North-South to see if there's any movement.
If it's really bad, you'll know as soon as it clears the ground. My father had a Ford Escort Mk 3 many years ago. We had just done around a 160 mile trip around the roads of Donegal and he took it to a mechanic because 'it didn't feel right'. The wheel fell off as it was jacked up!

Thanks everyone, rang the mechanic and told him so i'm dropping back tomorrow afternoon. I must admit, now i've stopped flapping about it, its more than likely the bearing and it'll be sorted then.
I just get impatient when i can't even throw it up on a jack and look at it, so all day at work, i'm itching to sort it. Thanks for all the answers, and voices of reason!
