Yes there is a deal inside and it is common for them to go. Never had to fix one myself so I couldnt tell you how hard it is to fix.

Could be a wheel cylinder leaking too. If it is the axle seal, take a real close look at the axle shaft where the bearing rides, if it is scarred or worn you need to replace the shaft and bearing.
