Is it possible for this unit to (at times) leak oil and leave stains on clothes. If so what repair do you recommend?

The only oil on these models is the transmission fluid. You will either have to replace the transmission or take it out and put new oil in it and replace the seal.
Not a difficult job, if you look at the video library here it will tell you how to take out the transmission. This is really a direct drive Whirlpool model, so look for info for those machines.

This is not a direct drive model, it is a belt drive model and the transmission on these are not serviceable. If the transmission is leaking into the tub, you would have to replace the transmission.

This is coming up on the APP model search as a Whirlpool made direct drive washer, but Eric may be correct if your model number is not coming up correctly.
Click on your model number and see if the model described and the parts shown match your machine.
