A generator (120) includes a main cavity (122) and a shaft (113) located in the main cavity (122). The shaft (113) is configured to be connected to an auxiliary power unit (APU) (110) and is rotated by the APU (110). The generator (120) is configured to generate power based on the rotation of the shaft (113). A fluid system (130) is configured to receive a fluid from the APU (110), flow the fluid through the main cavity (122) and return the fluid to the APU (110) through a fluid scavenge channel (131). A filter (124) is configured to filter the fluid from the main cavity (122) to the fluid scavenge channel (131) and a sensor (125) is configured to detect a characteristic of the fluid at the filter (124).
