Hi...Those are parts from the sealed bearing. There is no way to fix it..you need a new bread pan. Hank

Hi..The sealed bearing that the paddle shaft rotates on is starting to fail. Soon it will freeze up entirely and you will need a new bread pan. Fill the bread pan half way up with hot water a few times and see if you can free it up to "buy some time" Hank

Hi,
The sealed bearing in the bottom of the bread pan is broken and leaking. You don't need a new machine, but you will need a new bread pan. Hank

Hi,
This is a common problem. The solution is to take the paddle out of the machine after the last kneading cycle and before final rise/bake. You may want to take the pan out of the machine to remove the paddle to be safe...unless your machine has a pause cycle. Hank

Hi,
There is a sealed bearing at the bottom of the pan. This allows the paddle to rotate. The bearing has failed and is falling apart. This usually happens with age or use. Time for a new bread pan. If you are lucky you can find one on ebay. Sorry for the bad news....Hank

Hi,
I think eBay has one. Chek iyours with th picture.

Hi omaopahupps,

Check out the Oster Breadmaker FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) at

http://www.oster.com/CustService.aspx?content=faqItems&fcid=2&name=Breadmakers

They talk about this near the end. Here is a partial copy of their response.
======================================================================

To get the pan out of the breadmaker, please follow these steps:

1. Make sure breadmaker and pan is cool. If it is warm, please use an oven mitt.
2. Grasp the handle of the bread pan and pull straight up or if your pan twists, twist pan clockwise and pull up. You may find a little force is needed to get the pan out.

=======================================================================

If I can be of further assistance, let me know.

If this solves the issue, please rate it accordingly.

Thanks in-advance for using Fixya.com,

Jon
