The Pontiac Montana Wheel Hub keeps your wheels in proper alignment and should be maintained. It is a good idea to examine the car's wheel hub occasionally in order to find wear. Pontiac Montana Wheel Hubs facilitate steady movement of your front and back wheels. They can affect steering when brakes are applied.

Sometimes a wheel bearing causes the wheel hub to have excessive play or looseness. A worn or misadjusted wheel bearing can cause the brake rotor to not be in the same plane as the caliper and brake pads. Don't overlook the wheel bearings. Be sure that the caliper is not out of alignment with the rotor. This can sometimes happen if the caliper mounting points (ears of the knuckle or caliper carrier) are bent due to collision damage

The paragraph immediately above came from this linked website. There is another possibility to the leaking break line in the same article.
