Sounds like your machine needs a clean cycle. You can run it empty on the hot cycle with regular bleach and it should help remove the built up dyes.
Not sure if it’ll work but you can try color safe dye on your stained clothes by soaking them. Look into it first though.

If you use washing pods it's those leaving the stains I'd give the machine a clean and swap if you are using them x
I think you’re right!! I’ve always used wash pods but using ones I’ve not used before so that makes sense!! Hoping that means the marks may come out or fade over time if it is from this?
