The felt friction belt between drum and door wears out and makes dirty marks. I am on my 4th belt in about 5 years. Easy to relace yourself. Take off top loosen off back enough to get felt off/on.

I have exactly the same machine as yours and I was getting little black marks on clothing. My 'little man' said it was the felt between the door seal and drum had worn away and clothes were getting trapped and marked while turning. As soon as he replaced felt it all stopped. The felt cost about £14 plus labour. My machine is now nearly 10 years old and still going strong! Hope this helps.

I think the grease spots can only come from the drum rear bearing - meaning that the seal that holds the grease within the bearing has failed, unfortunately. The front bearing is usually only a felt type - no lubricant around here.
