My money is on either a mechanical issue in the #1 input module, or a failure of the oil scavange from the #1 input module which then led to "churning". It was overheating of the input module and then partial failure of mating seals between the input module and main module that resulted in some loss of oil.

Of course, I could be wrong
I'm struggling to remember where and when but hasnt this churning issue happened before and had a very similar situation.
