Zanussi FLE 1215W washing machine leaking?

Can anyone suggest possible sources of leak which appears to be from beneath machine. On partial inspection (removed top), found broken pieces of a reddish/brown, clay/sand moulding inside casing. Wondered if this has any connection with leak. Machine 4 years old.

Thanks

Tried to post yesterday - don't know what happened cause answer not listed.

Thanks for your advice. Seems like sensible thing to do. Friend suggested that the fragments I mentioned could be part of the filter pump surrounds. Maybe a leak here caused the moulding to disintegrate.

hi les\
best thing to do is, pull the machine out, lie it on its side, so u cn see the underbody, there should be some pipes there, u may be able to spot the leaking one!
