A hydraulic machine has a first assembly and a second assembly movable in rotation relative to each other along an axis of rotation. The hydraulic machine has a crankcase defining an internal volume, in which an interface between the fixed assembly and the movable assembly has a housing provided with a first sealing element ensuring the sealing of the internal volume relative to the external environment. A second sealing element is positioned between the internal volume and the housing. The second sealing element is adapted to allow a passage of fluid from the internal volume to the housing when the pressure deviation between the internal volume and the housing is less than or equal to a threshold value, and to isolate the housing from the internal volume when the pressure deviation is greater than the threshold value.
