There is heavy gear grease in the gear housing in the bottom of the wringer post. Tilting the machine sideways and being in a hot vehicle of course the grease got runny and leaked out the hole on top of the horizontal housing going to the gear box.
I would think grease would pour out turning it upside down. That would be my assumption. Tilting these machines in any way can cause leaking, Best transport is leaning slightly on the front of the machine.. Mine leaks a little even doing that. There is no way to replace the grease with out tearing it apart. take The horizontal housing off repack the gears in the vertical housing. I think 80-90 gear lube. Buy or make new gaskets and reassemble. Or it maybe ok to test it BUT Before starting the machine. inspect the machine belts hoses ect. Put HOT HOT water in the tub. This softens the Gear grease in the gear box under the tub. Let it sit for 1 or 2 hours, Check for leaks. If no leaks plug it in and see what happens. Is this your machine?? random snag from internet.
