Oil in tub soiling clothes

[washeania]

Hi my speedqueen commercial washer is doiling the clothes.what seals may be bad and is the oil from the transmission

Reminds me of the old solid tub Norge washers. The seal under the agitator block drive would go bad and they would spit oil all over the clothes. I assume that's what it is with this one too.

That is oil from the transmission and the only way I have ever fixed this issue was to replace the transmission and the hub and seal kit. This requires quite a bit of labor and also knowledge of a Speed Queen. If it was roaring during the spin, the bearing may need replacing as well.
