Hi Gary, I spoke extensively to Kitchenaid before I bought it.  The 
leaking oil is food grade oil to lubricate the mixer.  This mixer is 
actually made to be used daily.  If you don't use it for a week or 
two, the food grade oil will break down and start leaking.

The way to avoid this is to run your mixer at high speed for a minute 
or two every week or two.

You can always get appliance insurance on your mixer from Sears.
