It is a self contained system.  Marcotte suggests
using 80w140 mineral or synthetic gear oil.  The
resvoir is for extra oil and for the PSRU to vent
into.  According to the drawing it looks like the oil
fills about 2/3 of the gearbox.  Sounds like a pretty
good idea.  I won't be pumping dirty hot engine oil
into the PSRU.  That is how the big guys (airliners)
lube the transmission for the generators.  I would
direct cooling air over the PSRU and resvoir.
