3 Days 130 miles Motor needs to be Replaced

[TonyWilliams]

Tony:

In your picture, the leak appears to be coming from the motor unit, right there where the electric motor attaches to (or is fused to) what I'll call the "gear assembly". Is that the same as the axle seal? I would have thought (perhaps wrongly) that the axle seal would be off to one side.

Funny, in a disappointing way, that I've owned multiple 100k+mi ICE cars (including a Lexus w/ +220k mi) that never left a spot on my driveway and that honor ends up going to my first EV.

The leak is the input shaft to the gear box.

The "axle" seal (for the two output shafts) are a different seal.

Three seals total to hold that quart of permanent lubricant!!!
