Why is water escaping via the powder drawer?

I have an Indesit 1296W Omega 1200 Ecosense Washing Machine. Water is escaping from the powder drawer when the machine is filling at the beginning of the cylcle, what is causing this?
Sue Farrell, January 2008
(1) partly blocked filler pipe leading into the drum, (undissolved /accumulated powder )
(2)filler holes partly blocked up with (mould) causing water to spray any where missing the filler tray
(3) excessive water pressure ,
1 put a kettle fairly HOT water into tray draw to try and dissolve powder.
2 clean holes hot water and old tooth brush
3 reduce water pressure at incoming stopcock
