When I got home there was some oil that had leaked on the cardboard. Itook the cover off and there was oil in the back panel. Not alot but enough to make a small pool the size of a large cookie. Is it ok to run the washer with this amount of oil loss or do I need to replace the oil and if so what kind of oil would be used? Thanks CGC

There are no upper bushings in this direct drive tranny, so a little oil spilled out will probably not have any effect.
