Hello, my spotty friend. While nibbling on a delicious plate of camel dip prepared for me by my lovely wife, Amatullah, I stumbled around the Samurai's washer diagnostic page. It includes a solution to your exact problem. For your reading pleasure, I have reprinted below the Samurai's illuminating and uplifting solution to this problem:

Take a chill pill, Prudence, it's probably not the washer's fault (unless it's a GE/Hotpoint). Now, get ready to have your little mind blown: most of time, spots on clothes are from a chemical reaction between the fabric softener and the detergent. Oh sure, don't believe me, go hire a lawyer, I don't give a rip. But you might unbunch your panties just long enough to do this little test: try handwashing a spotted garment in warm soapy water. If the spots come off, they were caused by fabric softener/detergent interaction. I know, I'm a genius. But talk is cheap--thank me with your wallet, not your lips.

If your seal kit were leaking, the gunk that it emits is pretty noticeable. Almost like a black grease. If your spots are the same color just darker, could very well be liquid detergent stains. Also, do they happen on everyones clothes or just one member. Could be something staining them prior. If you had a boot seal issue, you would know it pretty quick on your white or light colors. No hiding those smudges.
