Dale, There isn't much oil (actually less than 1/4 Oz.) It's most likely dirty, soapy water from the leak at the tub seal. You would need to replace the outer tub assembly W10193887 to have all the parts you need for the repair. Good Luck and Thanks

Hello Mollie. Remove the center cap off the wash plate and remove the bolt in the center of the wash plate W11252784. Lift the wash plate out of the bottom of the washer tub and remove the silver dollar coin. Reinstall in reverse order. Hope this helps.
