Abstract
A product may include a case, and a shaft that rotates may extend into the case. A bearing may support the shaft at the case. A seal may be positioned around the shaft outboard from the bearing. The bearing may have a first side facing the seal and a second side facing away from the seal. The case may define an inlet to an area between the bearing and the seal. A baffle may extend over the inlet on the second side and radially outside the bearing.
