Is it normal for a small amount of water to be under a washing machine after
it completes, or is that a sign to call the repairman ?

I noticed a good amount of water, I can't tell if it's from when it went off
balance. I wiped it up, did a regular load, and noticed a few drops on the
floor.

Don't panic yet. There are some models where the tub may be in an off
centered position when the fill operation begins and water sprays over
the tub edge and runs down to the floor. It may do this one time and
not the next and the amount of water spilled is quite variable. The
same can happen when clothes are placed in a way the allows some fill
water to overshoot the tub.

First thing I would do is to check to see if the washer is level. Use a level
(you know, the bubble in liquid type) and check it on the closed lid, and on
another flat surface (in case the lid has been tweeked). Be sure to check the
level and then check again by turning the level 90 degrees. If the machine is
off, you can adjust it by screwing or unscrewing the four feet on the machine.

Just a thought.
