This is a Bell planetary reduction I believe, the engine is a dry sump configuration and as I understand what happened is the pilot dove steeply coming down, which put the tank in a bad configuration. It is running on Methanol.

I watched the video last week. I didn’t recognize the gearbox.  Oil leak near the end of the flight?
