Water leaking from Washer Hotpoint WD420?

Hi
My Hotpoint WD420 is leaking water from the Drawer on the front. I've checked the pipe under my sink and this doesn't appear to be blocked. What can I do?

Thanks Andrea

You dont say if it is leaking when at the start of the cycle and when water is added during rinse and spin or it is constant through the wash cycle, if number one follow these instructions remove the soap drawer completely, clean thoroughly then clean the inside of the soap drawerdispenser , that should do it. over a period of time you will get a build up of sludge ie powder or conditioner, when the water is dispensed on the start of wash cycle instead of all of it being fed into the machine part of it is pushed backwards causing it to run down the front of the machine
