paper gears?!
I've never heard of paper gears, but I did hear one time about bomb shelter ventilation blowers that used some kind of pressed fiber gears (i know, paper is pressed fibers, but these were different i think?). IIRC these were WWII type items and were not meant for any extended or rugged use. I am not sure who made them.

And as everyone else said, Let it leak, that way you know that the oil is getting to everything.
