How can I add gearcase oil to my Whirlpool model 110 82874120 washing machi?

I tilted the machine on its back for transport for about a week. I found fluid from it when I set it back upright. Has a seal has leaked or is there an overflow? Can I refilll the gearbox or leaking component? How can I get to the component? Do I need to remove the cabinet or is there an access port? How much fluid does it hold?
It was marketed as a Sears Kenmore 70 Series Heavy Duty Machine

Take the assembly apart. Clean and wipe down inside areas. Make sure any remaining sealant around edge is removed. Gearcase oil comes in one basic size (approx 16 oz). Add the whole container and then add a bead of silicone sealer around edge (not too much-sealant should be the kind that remains flexible-also, sealant does not need to cure before use). Put everything back together and you should be good to go.
