How can I fix my Hotpoint Ultima WT960 washing machine leak?

My hotpoint ultima wt960 washing machine is leaking from the bottom. Can you give me some advice on how to fix it?. Thanks

As an experiment, try putting wide tape all around the dispenser drawer (sealing the gap around it to the front face of the machine). That would help check if that's where it's coming out.

Youll have to identify the source of the leak by removing the cover(s). Check the door seal. Check all hoses and hose connections, look at the seals around the heater and thermostat at rear of drum. Check the detergent dispenser for blockage and overflow. Check for rusty spray around where the drum shaft enters the outer drum - early indication of seal and bearing failure.
