My washing maching is leaving oily spots (like
vegetable oil) on my clothes. It is very random,
and sometimes leaves lots of spots on a lot
of clothes, and sometimes just a few tiny spots
on one piece of clothing.

I've had the repairman look at it, and so far he's
replaced the transmission and the agitator....
but no luck. I've taken the washing machine apart
and cleaned it, and even switched detergents
several times.

At one point I thought my dryer sheets were
responsible and switched to fabric softener,
but that wasn't it.

Have you *absolutely* determined that the stains are coming from the washer
and not the dryer? Have you inspected the clothing before putting them into
the dryer and seen the spots?

Do the stains wash out or are they permanent?

What make and model number is your washer? You can find tips for locating
the model number on your appliances in the 'Repair Parts' section of my site
linked below.

If your machine is a top loader, then the likely source
of the oil is the seal at the top of the agitator shaft.

Usually those would be new if the transmission was replaced like the OP
said.
