What's wrong with current motor? Is the pump seeping oil into it?

The motor was saturated when Jimmy bought it used and then at the show it was accidentally saturated with oil again and fried this time.
I don't believe there is a leak or problem with the pump or the lines just oil mistakenly spilled onto it first during shipping and then second from filling it. Because I pulled the fried motor out and it was nice and dry inside where the coupler is which I was happy to see.
I would think that someone would have found a nice aftermarket brushless motor system that would work nice but, I couldn't really find anything via google.
