Apparently, the tiny black flakes consist of the material located in the seal under the blades. As the blades turn, the rotating blade assembly allegedly causes friction when it rubs against the seal just under those blades. The seal is there to keep any liquid from leaking out of the container.

Blenders usually leak because of the rubber gasket (also called the o-ring) that is located at the bottom of the blender housing, under the blade assembly. These gaskets start to wear over time. Since they’re expendable parts, it’s completely normal for them to wear and cause the blenders to leak.

Why is my NutriBullet sparking?
An issue with the blades can lead to sparks from the motor. If the blades don’t turn freely or the bearings/bushings in the blade assembly become seized from liquid and food seeping into it, the motor will work harder than it should causing it to overheat and spark. This can also occur if the blades are simply dull.
Why is there brown liquid coming from my NutriBullet?
If you do not replace your blade you will run into the issue of the black/oil/tar looking gunk that comes out of the bottom of the blade unit. When this stuff cakes up in your blade gears it stops the blade from running smoothly and when it pushes against the motor (not running smoothly) the black gunk starts to burn.
