How can I fix my Kenwood Mixer Model A701A (1976?)?

The mixer, Kenwood Chef, serial No 493175, Australian made by Kenwood Peerless Pty Ltd, is leaking oil from the gear above the mixing bowl. I need a breakdown diagram to assist dismantling and repair.
Does it need a mechanical seal or an o'ring?

as i would like to thank them for such a great machine i have had my chef since 1976 and it has not missed a beat the only thing is one of the back hinges i brocken and i have to hold it down while i mix with it also the locking pin will not lock but other than that is been a great unit and still going strone never had a service in all that time and i use it every week but as i was a chef for 38 years i never left my side it is great

It's not oil, it's grease (but that's not relevent really). if it's coming from the centre, it is a rubber washer. You shold be able to take the centre nut off clean the excess and retighten the nut with a spanner (the washer is contained within the nut).
