Default X2 Noisy Drive Motor

I'm riding an X2 that has been getting louder and louder, the more I ride it. Before, I couldn't tell which side the noise was coming from. Now it's obvious that it's coming from the right side. It sounds like the drive motor is running low on fluid or something. I don't know if Segways get oil changes, or are supposed to have oil added ever. From what I read, you're supposed to leave them alone. But I also read that the drive motors are supposed to last forever. It certainly doesn't sound good, and it's getting worse. I took the wheel off and it seems like everything is tight like it should be. Although, with the wheel on, there was a little bit of wobble, like worn bearings might show.
Unfortunately, I don't have a local Segway dealer in my area. I am somewhat mechanically inclined, and am willing to get into it and try to fix it myself. I just don't know where to start. I even have some extra parts if I need a whole drive motor to swap.
Any suggestions?
