A turbomachine includes a motor including a rotor assembly and a stator assembly. A sleeve fluidly separates the rotor assembly from the stator assembly. The sleeve has first and second ends axially spaced from one another. In one example, first and second seals are arranged at the first end and fluidly separate the rotor assembly from the stator assembly. The second seal is arranged downstream from the first seal relative to the rotor assembly. In another example, the sleeve includes wet and dry sides. A first seal is arranged at the first end on the wet side. A drain is provided in the housing and arranged in a region downstream from the first seal. The drain fluidly connects the region to an exterior of the housing.
