Hi Bob just read your posting.I am afraid your gearbox is leaking oil into the water .This means to repair the machine your gearbox needs reconditioning or replacement and also the main shaft seal will need replacing.I am putting this posting as a clarification request because my brand of expertise is FISHER@PAYKEL but I have some experience with SPEED QUEEN and KLEENMAID,which are the same machine only different names.Posting this reply as a clarification request will still leave your posting up in the washing machine area for other experts to hopefully help you further.But I am 100% sure that your gearbox needs repairing.Please reply if you need further help or information from me.Good luck.<br />

    I have the same problem, oid streaks are evident in the bottom of the bowl in the final spins. How do you remove the gearbox and does the agitator need to be removed? I have noticed the that agitator has movement when in place (having difficult working out how to remove this as there is no 7/16" nut thru the top) and moves off centre a good deal, does this also mean the hub and bearings need repairs?

Oil in radiator , but there is no oil and water mixing in sump
I am assuming its motor oil and not transmission fluid, right ?
You can have a leaking intake gasket or head gasket and get oil in the coolant without getting coolant in the crankcase.
Same thing opposite. The bigger the leak, the better the chance of getting both at the same time.

How to remove oil stain from clothes
Immediately apply water on stain and try to absorb oil from the cloth using tissue paper. Once you are home, take a lemon, squeeze the juice on the stain, keep it aside for 30-45 minutes. Next apply detergent powder on the stain and rub gently, wash with water. The stain will get faded. now soak the cloth in soap and water for 1 hour and wash gently. After one or two wash the stain will go completely.

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.

Milky oil leaking from left side caseing?
If water gets inside the gearbox, it will emulsify due to the "blending" caused by the gears and crankshaft. It turns the oil a milky color. The water can come from a bad oil seal on the water pump (if the bike is water cooled), or from condensation inside the gearbox. Sitting out in the rain, pressure washing or riding in creek beds can also be the water source. Find the water source and fix the seal or otherwise remedy the exposure. You will need to do an oil change. Please rate my answer. Thanks.

Oil is spewing into the wash tub during the spin
This may be a busted tub seal, but is usually caused by the outer plastic tub retaining grease and debris from previous loads. I would try running a hot water only wash cycle at full water capacity and adding a strong degreaser. This should emulsify any left over grease while also washing out the outer tub. If the problem persists, you may need to repeat the procedure. Remember that your washing machine transmission is located below the drum and tub assembly and is full of oil, but that oil simply cannot travel uphill.

Engine oil light on after i washed the engine.
Three things to try. You would think the motor would run hot enough to dry out. Sneak your wifes hairdryer out to the boat and use it for drying all the connections. Then check your oil for water, point being oil is an insulator and water conducts so a slight amount of water in the oil could ground the sensor. Last, disconnect battery and see if computer reboots.
