A gearbox includes a housing defining an interior. The housing includes outer walls and inner walls defining other structure within the housing, and at least one wall of the housing includes a semi-hollow volume. A main lubricant reservoir is disposed within the interior of the housing, and at least one pump is arranged in the interior of the housing for pumping lubricant from the main lubricant reservoir and distributing the lubricant throughout the housing. The semi-hollow volume of the at least one wall stores lubricant during normal operation of the pump, and when a loss of lubricant occurs within the housing, lubricant seeps from the semi-hollow volume to distribute lubricant throughout the housing.
