    does my furnace blower have oil holes

    I have a mobile home with a hot air vent in each room floor system , the blower motor is directly on top of the furnace which burns kerosene, I have looked with a flashlight for a oil hole for the blower motor bearings and could not find any holes any where , is it possible that the motor has sealed bearings going on 16 years here?

    Sealed bearings are likely.

        Is it possible that way up on top of the motor housing there could be a oil hole?
        I should take some photos of it and post them .

          It is possible that is sealed bearings, but it could also have bearing holes that
          have small rubber plugs in the oil holes that can be hard to see without a very
          close inspection of the motor.
