Thick grease leaking from washing machine

What is it, what would need to be fixed. It was all over the front, recently cleaned it with paint thinner and this is how it looks after a day.

I'm assuming the springs are also gone because the drum shakes vigorously and moves the Machine at high rpm, could it be somehow related. The machine is an IFB (Indian brand) Elena Aqua Steam 6KG front-load washing machine. Location: India.

Melting PCB coating.

Two links describing the issue…
One of these links includes a DIY repair that involves cleaning the board and coating it with hot glue, but that seems sketchy to me as hot glue has a pretty low melting point. A new board is likely the only real solution but may not be economical, particularly if the machine is old.

Got pulled over at Banastari bridge speed trap today morning

So I got flagged down by traffic cops positioned right at the end of the Banastari bridge today. Got a challan for doing 50kmph in a 30kmph zone which is just the bridge.

The cop says that the next challan I get will result in the suspension of my licence. He then offered me the option of placing a Rs 500 note in the cop car instead of the challan being issued.

My main point: Feels less like traffic enforcement and more like a revenue to fatten their wallets. The position of the speed trap seems very predatory to me. There were 2 other people who were fined along with me, imagine on the low end they fine 1 person every 4 mins pays 500 and they stand out there for 3 hours every single day, imagine the amount of money going into their pockets.

Has anyone else been caught at this exact spot? Is this a known trap? Do I just pay the challan and move on? or is it worth reporting the bribe solicitation?

I paid nothing on the spot. Will have to pay the challan later. But wanted to hear if others have had a similar experience.

Thoughts? And some prayers for the 1000 that will leave my bank account.
