MaxxAir ceiling vent repair

Question

The gear housing on one of our ceiling vents cracked. We had a mobile RV repair person evaluate it during an on-site repair and have ordered the part. It looks to be a simple replacement. However, I noticed some oil around the corner of the vent trim inside the camper as well as some on the floor. Has anyone done this repair? Do I need to add some oil back in somewhere or is it contained in the gear housing part I purchased?&nbsp;

there should be no oil in a max air fan.&nbsp; did you recently buy this?&nbsp; did some one try put oil onto a fan motor to quiet it down when it was on its way out the door to sell the rv?&nbsp;

Could it be discolored water you are seeing &nbsp;rather than oil? If the gears are damaged, the lid might not be sealing completely, allowing water to enter and causing discoloration of the water from corrosion or dirt.&nbsp;
