The bearing in the midhsaft housing is sealed. When you pump grease into the fitting you are greasing the seals and shaft not the bearing. Be carefull, if you pump in too much grease you can blow out a seal.
No, moving the engine forward is pretty easy. The hardest part is removing part of the exhaust. If you have a pipe then you just remove the chamber. Unbolt the motor and and pull the fuel lines and you can scoot the motor forward enough to remove the midshaft.
It would be the seals that would leak. I would think a visual inspection would be good enough the rule out a leak. Also the midshaft needs to be properly sealed to the bulkhead. There is also an O-ring in the center of the coupler. This is a great thread on midshafts...
It could. If it was me I would inspect everything that you worked on closely for something wrong. Pull your ride plate and in the dark shine a flashlight inside the pump and look for light leaks.
