Abstract: Drive casings, heat exchange systems and methods for cooling lubricant within the casings which house within a main cavity of the casing a drive shaft, bearings or gears of an engine-driven apparatus, the casing having an integrated base defining a heat exchanger cavity and separating the heat exchanger cavity from the main cavity, where the base receives cooling liquid within the heat exchanger cavity, a surface of the base within the main cavity defining a main cavity floor which is slanted with respect to a horizontal plane when in normal use.
