All washer machines have a "transmission" - just like a car these units have oil in them and when the seals that protect the oil from going to our clothes is breake, oil finds its way to your clothes.
Transmission needs to be replaced.

Whirlpool top load washer - grease under washplate

If you're finding grease under the washplate of your Whirlpool top load washer, it's likely that the transmission is leaking. The transmission is responsible for turning the drum during the wash cycle, and if it is leaking, it can cause grease to build up under the washplate. Here are a few steps you can take:
  1. Check the transmission oil level: The first step is to check the oil level in the transmission. If the oil level is low, it could indicate a leak.
  2. Check for leaks: Look for any visible leaks coming from the transmission. If there are leaks, it's best to take it to a qualified repair technician.
  3. Clean the washplate and drum: Clean the washplate and drum with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Be sure to remove any debris or buildup that may have accumulated.
  4. Check the transmission oil seal: the oil seal may be the cause of the leak, if it's damaged or worn out, it will need to be replaced by a professional technician.
It's important to keep in mind that the transmission is a complex component, and if you're not comfortable working with it, it's best to consult a professional technician for further diagnosis and repair.
It's also important to note that some of these steps require a certain level of mechanical knowledge and experience. If you're not comfortable with checking these items, it's best to consult a professional repair technician if i was able to help my cashapp $ralphpapi thank you have a blessing day

Gunk gets on clothes-stains them,i pulled agitator out and cleaned it off ran bleach thru-its better but still getting on clothes

The problem may be the seal on the transmission failing. If this happens, grease from the transmission (necessary for it to function) will leak and float (recall from science class that oil is less dense that water) up into the washer. As the grease enters the tub, it stains your clothes.

Washer slinging grease from bottom of tub onto sidewalls of washer. Also beginning to leak water while it is agitating and spinning. Do I need Tub Bearing kit?

You need the outer tub seal as a minimum for the water leak. The grease is a different mater, it could come for several places by the most likely in the transmission, not the bearings.

Grease leaking into drum under agitator cone

Remove the agitator cone. There will likely be a removable plastic piece with an O-ring. Oil could be leaking out of the O-ring into the washer, and water could be leaking into the bearings. If there is damage to the O-ring replace it, or if there is a bunch of schmag that is compromising the seal, clean it out, and re-install everything. This solved the problem in my washer; hopefully it works for you.

My washer keeps leaking grease onto my clothes!

the problem that you have is the bearings have badly worn,a lot of companys will just replace the entire drum rather than mess about with the bearings as this does not always solve the problem.sorry to give this bad news.
