Intermediate bearing shot, advice

Inspected my 197 for the Lambda connections and checked the whole car for signs of attention.
II found the intermediate bearing leaking grease, so it is shot.
There are plenty of replacements available, but bearing only.
Is there a Renault part number for the bearing and it's house or does it come as a full intermediate shaft?
Also what is the part number for the gearbox seal? '06 model.

Thanks.

I have inspected it closer, to me it seems the bearing as replaced and they used liqui moly grease to get the new bearing on /in and did not bother to wipe the excess off. I could not feel resistance when turning the wheel by hand in neutral or play in the axle. Only way is to remove the axles but don't have time for that at the moment.

Just replacing the bearing is fine. The housing will be ok

The grease will be from your CV joint. Where the shaft splits, there is a rubber O ring. It will either be split or missing. If you replace it, it will stop the grease from leaking.
