Lubrication circuit, particularly in an aircraft engine
A lubrication circuit comprising an oil tank (4) integrated into a first lubricated chamber (5) comprises an evacuation conduit (20) on a recovery conduit (10) from lubricated chambers of the circuit leading to the reservoir (4), opening up into an outlet (21) when an excessive pressure in the tank, that is a symptom of progressive filling, is reached. Application to aircraft engine lubrication circuits, particularly to guard against fuel leaks in the lubricant as a result of a defective heat exchanger.

Lubricant pumping system
A lubricant pumping system includes a lubricant pump having a lubricant pumping space, a first seal configured to seal the lubricant pumping space, at least one signal detector, and a leakage detector for detecting leakage of a lubricant from the pumping space through the first seal and sending a signal to the signal detector in response to a detection of the leakage of the lubricant. The signal detector may produce a visual or acoustic output in response to receipt of the signal.
