Re: Leak from washer somewhere what are the possiblity
If its leaking from the door, replace the boot seal. Anywhere else, you need to take the back and/or front off and find where it is coming from. The drain hoses or drum itself.

Most likely the sight of water leaking from the front of the machine, means it is leaking from somewhere else. Check all inlet and outlet hose connections. Hard water deposits build up and can cause minor leaks over time. If it is only noticeable during the wash cyclee,(agitating) it is possible there is a leak in the drum. Rare, but possible.
if it's leaking, take it somewhere to get checked, water and electronics don't end up mixing in a cheap way! the leak could be the pump or main seal. the unbalanced thing can be due to spring failure.
Water leaking from tub seal into motor possibly? Try doing spin with dry newspaper under the machine and check for leaks. Could also possibly be water heater element loose or breaking down - leaks from drain hose or water pump body into windings? Dry news paper test should highlight where leaks are coming from.
!0 years old is ancient for a machine and you might consider replacement rather than a repair which will only be throwing good money after bad. Do you drive a 10 year old car? if you do, you expect repair bills to mount up! same with washer. I bet it doesn't owe you much!
Anytime there is a loss of pressure it means a couple of things. the lines are not completely air tight, meaning there is a leak somewhere, possibly a valve, or a loose connection.
You have some pressure but not full pressure, which tends to make me think there is a leak. Retrace the pressure lines and tighten all connections. If that does not help, it would mean there is a crack in your pump.
Chances are they are not related if the water is clean.These units can run quite a while dripping small amounts of oil. The drain hose is a possibility but there are other places it can leak from. Call a local tech he can run the machine with the cabinet removed and should be able to find the source of the water leak. good luck
Sounds like you may have a small hole or a failure in a seal somewhere, is there a filter on the drain you could check this is secure and free from debris, is it possible that the drain hose has been kinked during a spin and possibly leaked? if it only leaks when it drains it is defenatley somewhere in the drain system. I would use your Insurance on this one Top loaders can be difficult to work with as the space inside them is very limited.
are you sure it only happens in the spin cycle? and is the leak comming from the bottom front of the washer? most front laoders will leak due to a tear in the belows. that is the rubber boot that seals the washer tub to the front panel. if there was a hole or a tear in the bellows it should have a leak inthe wash cycle also. but there are also other possibilitys too.but its strange to only leak in a spin cycle due to the washer is extracting the water and not adding it. so check and see if it leaks in the wash cycle to and get back to me and we can go from there. looking through my training manual i dont see what could cause a leak in just the spin cycle
Crawls, usually all leaks are visible. Im surprised the repairman did not actually get to the source of it. Your drain pump sits on the bottom and it possibly could be the filter cap, hoses to the pump or pump itself. Another area to check is the despensor. There are a number of hoses to this which could be leaking. The bellow itself could have a cut in it somewhere along the bottom. I would call the repairman back and have him at least get to the source of the leak...Catriver..post back.
