MAYTAG model # MVWX500XLO ; High Efficiency top load washer; s/n C03430508 . Slightly less than 4 years old just had an awful oil smell on the most recent run. I looked under and there is oil leaking onto the sound deadening pad under the washer. It is difficult to tell where it came from due to the showd and belt drive cover slinging the oil onto that entire area. It looks and smells like a transmission oil. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I let it finish the run since the smell started during the high speed spin and it was almost done but did not run it any more after that. Is it worth fixing? It is out of all warranties except the drum and Motor are warranted for 10 years.
