The gear housing includes: an accommodation portion having a communication passage and an accommodation concavity; and a cover having a breathing hole. The breathing hole has a cover side opening, which connects to an accommodation side opening of the communication passage. An inside of the motor element is connected to an outside of the gear housing through the breathing hole and the communication passage. The cover seals an opening of the accommodation concavity. The water proof sheet having water proof property and gas permeability is disposed between the accommodation side opening and the cover side opening.
