Bearing centering spring and damper

A machine comprising:

• a first member;
• a bearing;
• a bearing spring support/damping apparatus comprising:
• a first end portion;
• a second end portion having an inner surface mounting the bearing and an outer surface radially inward of an inner surface of the first member;
• and
• a flexible portion between the first end portion and the second end portion,
• wherein:
• a first seal seals between the outer surface of the second end portion and the inner surface of the first member to a first axial side of a fluid outlet in the inner surface of the first member;
• and
• a second seal seals between the second end portion and an axially facing radial face of the first member to a second axial side of the fluid outlet axially opposite the first axial side to form a damper.
