HI everyone, What a find! My aged neighbor who lives 3 doors away has a matching set of Maytags that she bought new in 1967. Neither the washer nor the dryer has ever had any repairs! She told me last night that there is some "red stuff" that leaks on the floor from time to time from the washer. I assume that is transmission fluid? She said I can have them when she is "finished" with them. She is 82 so I think I understand what she means by "finished." Should the washer be repaired now or just see what happens? And is this really transmission fluid? Thanks for your help. Gary
