It is likely to be the transmission but you should be able to tell for sure by putting clean paper under it to determine where the oil is coming from. in case transmission in truely the problem, getting it fixed should be relativly easy, but it also depends on the exact model (I dont know this specific model unfortunatly). if you are not very handy, it might give you some trouble, plus it isnt cheap at all, so if it is a cheap washer, I would get a new one. anyways, if you still wanna do it by yourself, and you made sure this is a transmision thing, you can buy a new part (make sure you get a repair manual with it). good luck

SOURCE: Amana washer "goo" on clothes?

Ann, these Amana's are the mother of all washers to change out the seal and bearings. It's possible you just have a lot of gunk built up on the inside of the basket from years of washing. I would not put a cent into it. You are better off getting a new direct drive washer. Catriver...post back.

SOURCE: won't drain or spin

Sounds like the lid switch which is only about 30.00 to fix if you do it yourself. It's a little difficult but it's much better than replacing or having someone come in and do it

SOURCE: Amana washing machine makes loud noice when trying to spin

sounds like you are dealing with the same problem as me .
take off the front panel (after unplugging power) take a flash lite and look at the large pulley at the back just below the pulley is the helix check to see if they are worn .

Gunk gets on clothes-stains them,i pulled agitator out and cleaned it off ran bleach thru-its better but still getting on clothes
The problem may be the seal on the transmission failing. If this happens, grease from the transmission (necessary for it to function) will leak and float (recall from science class that oil is less dense that water) up into the washer. As the grease enters the tub, it stains your clothes.

Worth fixing dryer that is getting oil spots on clothes model mah5500bwq
This machine has no oil in the tub assembly. Over a period of time and using cold water washes body oil, dirt and undissolved detergents and fabric softener will accumulate at the water line on the inner wall of the outer tub. After the gunk builds up thick enough parts of it will break loose at times when using hot water and then get on the clothes.

The tub won't drain and it spins very slowly. I've also noticed, over the last couple years, some oil/rust spots on my clothes. It is a top loading washer that is over 20 years old.

Noisey spin
The noise is from the transmission and is usually pretty expensive. You really are better off getting a new washing machine.

Water still in tub
The splash ring on top of the basket has water in it for balance. As long as you don't see water in the bottom and the clothes are spinning correctly, then there shouldn't be a problem.

Amana washer won't fill with water
1st I checked the power, compressor in garage had tripped the breaker to the washer circuit. This model has no bells or whistles to tell you if the power is on to the unit. Reset the breaker and unit works.

AMANA WASHER WILL LEAKS WATER IN TUB AFTER SPIN CYCLE.
Cylon, sounds like you need to replace the water inlet valve. It's not seating and weeping water. For series 10 the part number would be 40097701. Not that hard of a job. Catriver..post back.

I have a amana ALW880QAW, I recently replaced the belt because the clothes were still too wet after sppinning at the end of wash. that problem was taken care of but now the motor is getting hot, smelling during the wash cycles. Sometimes I've found it stopped & humming and when I move the belt it begins washing. I've also noticed in the wash cycle , a metallic, clicking sound, sort of like a metal ball rolling around. any advice would be greatly appreciated.
