A vehicle powertrain includes a stator defining a circular opening having an inner diameter, and a rotor to rotate within the circular opening such that a gap is formed between a rotor surface and the stator at the inner diameter. The powertrain further includes a repellant, coated on the stator and the rotor surface, to control fluid flow in the gap.
