when it is filling, after a about 30-40 seconds, water starts to drip then flood under left side of dishwasher. I suspect it could be something to do with the flow meter or the vent on the side. The hose looks ok. is it backing up the hose and overflowing?

You will have to take the side panel off and look where the water is coming from. We can't see for you. If it is coming out of the top of the vent then try changing the inlet valve. It may be allowing too much water to flow.
