    Abstract: A turbine engine strut stage extends through a gaspath upstream of a guide vane stage. A carbon seal system seals a bearing compartment and has: a carbon seal mounted to the case and a seal runner on the spool; and a seal carrier carrying the carbon seal. The engine passes buffer air along a buffer air supply path internally through one or more first struts of the stage of struts. The engine drains oil along an oil drain path internally through one or more second struts of the stage of struts.

    Abstract: A cooling system includes an inlet, a passageway, and a feed passage. The inlet is defined by a strut of a diffuser case that extends between a first case portion and a second case portion. The inlet extends from a leading surface towards a trailing surface along a first axis. The passageway is defined by the strut and extends from the inlet towards the second case portion along a second axis that is disposed transverse to the first axis. The feed passage is defined between a body of a tangential onboard injection system that extends between and is connected to an inner vane platform of a guide vane and the second case portion. The feed passage extends along an axis that is disposed parallel to the first axis.
