Well from what I do know about these machines, there is a seal on the lower part of the transmission that eventually leaks. Mine drips a little especially if it has not been used in a long time. There are replacement transmissions that could be put in, or if your mechanical enough, you could repair that one yourself.
They can run for a while and lose a good amount of oil, but eventually, it will cause issues if enough is lost and the machine is run. You shouldn't have an issue with fluid coming into the tub, since that is a different seal that would have to fail. The members here familiar with the machine could walk you through a step by step repair and help you get going again. Best of luck to you. | ||

A106 LEAKING OIL Just keep using it, you should clean any oil off the main drive pulleys and replace the main drive belt every so often, but it is seldom worth repairing. I have seen MT washers run 20 years while leaking oil. If it finally all leaks out the transmission may seize and stop agitating, but unless you want a really big project or have $500.00 burning a hole in your pocket I would cross that bridge when you get there. | ||
