I have a baumatic bdw13 dishwasher which has started leaking.
I have traced the leak to underneath the dishwasher where there are four holes. Two have screws in them and two towards the back do not. The leaks appear to be coming from the two holes towards the back. You can also see evidence of water damage around these two holes.

Should these holes have screws or something else in them to stop the leaks?
What might be causing the leaks?
Is this something (amateur DIY) could fix, is it worth the cost of calling an engineer or is it just better to purchase a new one?

Any help would be appreciated

Regards

Think it through logically. Water is inside the dishwasher washing the dishes. Water should not be on the tray underneath so water should not be leaking out of any screw holes down there. You will probably find the leak is either from the main wash pump or the plastic water delivery tube up the back wall. You will need to remove the side panels, dry out the tray and then run it with the panels off and watch for where the water comes from then decide what to do about it.
