There should be no oil. It is probably grease that has leaked due to a gasket not sealed tight. Go to Mendingshed.com and if you type in Kitchen Aid Mixer you can find a manual that shows what type of grease.

My dad's K5SS Mixer is grinding/growling Toward the rear of the machine. The more it is under load the more you hear it. When trying to identify where it is coming from it right about where the Spherical Bronze Bushing at the back of the electric motor is. I have it all disassembled and am wondering how I can tell if the bearing is to blame. There does not seem to be any galling of the bearing or shaft there. It all looks smooth. The only thing i have detected is that many of the screws in the machine were almost hand tight. and more important the very tips of the fan toward the stator are shiny like they been rubbing. But I don't see what in the bearing assembly they've been rubbing on. Any Suggestions would be most appreciated. We have a family cookie bake next week and our mixer is invaluable for it. Thanks so much for you kind attention and Merry Christmas, happy Holidays. Red

I am having problems with my k5ss kitchenaid mixer. The problem happens when i tryed to even mix butter and sugar the paddle would not rotate under a load. It works fine with without any products in the bowl but as soon as i try to mix anything it just stops mixing. It does not smoke or heat up at all. All of the different speeds do work.
