Leaky Indesit IS70C?

My dryer has started leaking badly when in use. The collection tray at the front/top of the unit does NOT contain any water after a long drying period but the floor is very wet and the room is very steamy and humid.
I've checked the tray/grille at the bottom of the unit and this is clear. I've pulled the unit out and there doesn't seem to be any parts I can take off to look inside, but there are two plastic tubes (one clear, one white) that run vertically from the base of the unit to a location close to the water collection tray at the top. One of these (white) has a kink at the top that could prevent water (?) from flowing but they are very small tubes.
Anybody got any ideas ?

Well this didn't work ! I've cleaned it out, had it upside down and still can't work out why it's not working.

It seems that the water is simply collecting in the condensor tray at the bottom of the unit but simply not condensing into steam. How does the water/steam get into the collection tray at the top ? Is it pumped ?

I had a similar problem. Turns out the condensor bottle hole didnt line up correctly with the nozzle which should fill it and the water was running off the bottle into the drawer. one of the pipes is an overflow return and the hole had blocked and the water wasnt returning to the condenser box. I cut the hole in the bottle alittle bigger and cleaned the drawer with a small cloth wrapped around around a stick. i discoverd this after taking the top off my machine. check if you have water in the drawer. If not then your condenser may be cracked.
