It could be the pump, pump hoses, or the water inlet weeping water. Remember water finds it's own level so the leak may originate from the back of the machine running towards the front giving the impresion it is leaking at the front. The other thought is if the pump is at the front [usually an electric pump] [my hotpoint had mechanical pump driven by the motor.] the shaft seals wear and can cause leaks. Replacement of pump is only cure it can't be repaired.
