Maybe a stupid question, but is there sufficient lubrication in a "non-powered" windmilling jet engine? Or would this wear be simply negligible compared to what the engine sustains in normal operations?
Yes it is not an issue, some bearing seals leak normally as a result. Other motors require to be strapped or pinned in place as they can sustain damage around the fan.
