| I have an Amana top loading washer, it's over 25 years old, and it's been a workhorse. Great old machine, bought it new. I've noticed lately that there are a couple of oil dribbles in the bottom of the tub, running out from under the agitator. This is after the washer's sat idle for a few days. I assume I have a bad shaft seal at the least. I hate to get rid of the machine, I think it runs circles around more recent washers. What am I in for? How is the agitator removed for a better look? |

Sure it's oil and not rust?
Trying to save a 25 year old washer with lots of use on it is like trying to save a 30 year old car. And by car I mean something with absolutely no collector interest like a Yugo. It is likely mostly done and you beat the odds and got your moneys worth . You can try to patch it together but parts could be tough and with rust and corrosion you will break parts every time to try to take stuff apart |
