'Hoover Electra 550' dual spin with leak at bottom of the drum/seal?

I am just repairing the same problem as you have and it is an intresting job because I had to replace the bearing and oil seals. But at the same time it could be just the hose which is above the motor, it could be brittle and therefor leaking.
Could you please givce me the serial number from your washing machine because my machine has no serial number attached, as I need that for order an oil seal. I appreciate your help. Your appliance doctor Beat
