Actually the problem goes away if you consider the whole ship as an engine with different pressure levels. One just uses seals as for instance the rings in a piston which keeps the explosive pressure levels in the firing cylinders out of the oilways.
Then there are the various oil seals that keep the oil out of places it isn't needed and stop it from splattering everywhere when it gets to where it is.
Have you posted it to the various military groups?
