My washing machine has started to leak, just determined that it is actually leaking from the drawer at the top where the softner and powder is loaded in to, it seems to be getting worse by the wash, seems to be at the end of the rinse cycle, 7/8 mins before the programme is due to finish.

check that the spray holes are not partly blocked up with mould.(this will alter the spray direction) also check the pipe from the the soap drawer to the drum has not become obstructed by slimy congealed washing power, remove the hose and clean it through then refit it
