    Completely baffled by small leak. Looks to be clean water probably 2 table spoon fulls only when rinsing / spinning. Checked supply hoses and fitted new seals, changed door seal which was perished, cleaned detergent drawer which was black and gunged up. Turned water pressure down a bit with no impact. Water pump and rubber hoses look brand new no appearance of leaks. Inspected all internal hoses as best I can no signs of leaks. Water appears to come from 4-5 inches in about one third from the right hand side. As determined by newspaper put underneath. Cannot see water marks/trails when inspecting from inside machine.

    Anyone got any bright ideas. I think its something to do with increased water pressure when rinsing finding a small leak. When filling the water pressure would be reduced as we have mains pressure hot water and the wash fill is hot and cold. It only leaks when rinsing.

    I know its an old machine but other than the leak its perfect and I am skint at the moment and the better half wants a new one

    If you still cant find the leak or traces of it, try using some food dye in a rinse so that you can trace where the leak is originating.

    This is a last resort though… Need for another afterwash with bleach afterwards.
