Hi..I am still waiting for the new dryer seals to get here so they can be replaced, but I appreciated you comments, and thought I would order the Top Center Shaft Seal part you mentioned, so that I would have it here when the repairman returns. I have the manual, and the only seal indicated in the parts and repair manual is "seal, filter cap" for the pump and motor parts section. Is that the same as the Top Center Shaft Seal?
Thanks,
Maryann
Possibly, each manufacturer labels it something different, you want the last seal out of the transmission on the top. good luck.

Removing
the impeller requires you lock the shaft as you turn the impeller off
counter-clockwise. You will also need to check for an impeller screw in the
center of the impeller inlet. If a screw is present they are usually left hand
thread. Back out the screw first, then proceed to remove the impeller.
To
lock the impeller you will have to remove the motor end cover or a cap covering
the shaft end depending on which version your particular motor has. Look at the
end opposite the pump and imagine a shaft from one end to the other right in
the center.
Once
you remove the cover you will see a slot for a screwdriver, a flat for a
wrench, a hex hole for a hex key or some combination of these. Lock the shaft
and spin off the impeller. Some are so tight you will end up breaking them in
the process. Simply replace it and the seal. Be sure the motor shaft is in good
enough condition to allow the new seal to work properly. If too much shaft
material has rotted away the new seal will leak soon after it is installed; you
would need a new motor at that point.

Yes, the seal has been leaking and it needs to be replaced; probably the motor bearings too.
