The invention provides a housing and a motor drive system. The motor drive system enables detection of cutting fluid deposited at a housing of electronic components. A housing holding electronic components of a motor drive system has top faces slanted with respect to the horizontal plane so as to guide the deposited cutting fluid. The housing further includes storage parts collecting the cutting fluid guided along the top faces. The storage parts may be graduated so as to enable the collected amount of the cutting fluid to be measured. The storage parts may be configured to be detachable from the housing.
