slight leak from bearing on hotpont wm72,how do i repair?

if you have black stain on the rear of the drum coming from the bearings the bearing outer housing has probable spun in the drum it's self damaging the bearing location which means replacing the bearings will be a waste of time, Sorry.

that should stop the problem you will get a water seal with the bearings, it sounds like that and possibly the bearings have gone/been damaged
