washing machine has started to apparently leak small amounts of grease
or oil on laundry. Is it time for a new one?
Last year spent $99 on its first repair (leak).

You basicaly have to decide if its worth fixing considering how old it
is, or perhaps better off getting a new one.

The oil is getting onto the clothes? Where is it coming from? The only
thing I know of that has oil in it is the gearbox which is below the motor
on my direct-drive Kenmore.

Leaking oil means transmission. You can net search about
this. My gut hunch is that it's more expensive to repair.
Shears repair tends to be more expensive than any other
company. So, try some local (to you) appliance repair shops,
see what they say.

I've even seen free washers on Craig's List that needed a new motor or
clutch (supposedly). I bought a used motor for mine from a used appliance
place and it was only $30. I suspect the trans/gearbox would not be a whole
lot more (used). OTOH I found it a lot cheaper to get the coupler and dogs
on eBay than from the appliance store.
