The cavity (HY) is connected to the oil sump (S) via a gap (C) configured for a passive return of oil out of the cavity (HY) into the oil sump (S). In order to reduce the gap (C), a separating element (T) is configured for making it difficult for oil to flow out of the oil sump (S) to the cavity (HY). A drive train comprising such a transmission (G) is also provided.

The tank is a leaking tank and is situated above said at least one component to be lubricated or cooled, the lubricating fluid flowing out of the tank by force of gravity, so as to reach said at least one component to be lubricated or cooled. The lubricating fluid system has at least one lift flow generator connected by at least one filling line to the tank and to at least one suction point present in a bottom of the sump. The lift flow generator fills the tank with the lubricating fluid present in said bottom at least during a starting phase.

A power unit includes at least one drive source that outputs rotational power to a drive target other than pumps; a first pump rotationally driven by the rotational power of the drive source; a second pump rotationally driven by the rotational power of the drive source, the second pump being different form the first pump; and a power transmission structure that transmits the rotational power of the drive source to the first and second pumps.
