I'm replacing the old bellow on my Whirlpool washer LHW0050PQ and noticed that some kind of adhesive was used around the small opening that drains from the bellow back down into the tub. It is a tube that sticks out of the bellow and goes back around to the tub, not very long or big around. Does anyone know what kind of adhesive I need to use for this?
There isn't any glue or anything that you use,what you see is most likely old detergent,it builds up on the rubber boot caused from using to much soap,then the washer starts to stink and the soap eats at the spider gear on the back of the tub or spin basket and you'll hear a loud noise when in high spin,you should only be using 2 tablespoons of soap that's it.but there's no glue,there's a spring ring that holds the outside of the bellows on and another in the inside,if your boot has the little drain tub on the bottom or top there's a little clamp that holds it on and that's it.good luck with your repair

This sounds like a plumbing problem. Lets see if we can isolate it. Turn the valves off behind the washer and remove them from the washer. Remove the washer drain hose from the stand pipe. Stuff one of the hoses into the now vacant drain line and turn the water on. Then do the other hose. Any noise? Now reconnect the fill hoses to the washer and reinstall the drain hose to its' place. Turn on the water valves at the wall, set the washer to a cold/cold cycle and start it up. Listen for noise. Now shut the machine off and set it for a hot/cold cycle and turn it on. Listen for noise. If you get no noise now, it's all good. If you're getting noise from just your hot water, your water heater is set too high and you have steam propagating in your plumbing. Your washer water valves (where the hoses connect to your machine) will only do this if you have low water pressure coming from the wall. Still, it'll be a plumbing problem.

remove the front ( you can leave door attached but it will be heavy)
