Congrats on your new Unimatic. What model do you have?
There are service manuals for Unimatic washers in the Ephemera Library, you'll find lots of detailed guidance there. If you describe or take a picture of where the water is coming from, we might be able to narrow that down a little more. There are several places leaks can originate, but the bellows wouldn't necessarily cause water on the floor. CLICK HERE TO GO TO gansky1's LINK | ||

It is the 1954 WO-65-2 I am not sure exactly where it is leaking because I have not had tome to get around to checking yet. I was told that it is leaking down the side of the motor. Thanks, Jesse | ||

If it's barfing oil you have a lot to do beyond the bellows. Wait until you get the mechanism open. Oh, the joys of re-operating a Unimatic. | ||

You'll have to see where the leak is coming from, if it's running down the motor could be leak around where the rubber mechanism support seals to the cabinet base. A coat of silicone would cure that easily. Or I have also seen where the screws were not tight enough and simply tightening them fixed that issue.
Let us know exactly where the leak is coming from (with a picture please). | ||
