That's right, it's currently the washer that I'm using but it's not mine.

Which GE washer are you talking about? Are you talking about the newest models?

Any of the belt drive GTW series machines, both with steel and plastic gearcases. As far as i can tell there must be a vent somewhere that lets a little oil seep out. I've seen GE troubleshooting tips that say on those models if you get out of balance issues and it is due to belt slippage (because of the oil getting on the belt and pulley which also causes the belt to stretch) to just replace the belt and clean up the pulley. I have a GTW525ACPWB and even mine does that, just replaced the belt on it a few weeks ago because it started slipping, on a year and a half old machine, but still would take that over one of these maytags. At least the GE uses a steel gearcase, and metal basket hub. Only downside to the GE to some people would be that it does not have a dual action agitator but it wouldn't be too hard to get the base and auger from sat a GTW465 and swap it into the 525.
