Leaking Bosch SGS43T72U (1998)

[echase]

There is a small puddle of water underneath. Goes away if tap turned off between washes. Is at front only so not a leaking supply or drain pipe. Not sure if there is excess water inside which could be a sign of a leaking inlet valve.

Door seal looks clean and in good condition.

Is there a common cause of this on these machines?

I had a leaking inlet valve on another non-Bosch machine but it set off the drain pump as there was a float switch in a sump under the main wash cavity to detect overflows.

It is possible that if you machine is not completely level, you could have a leak at the rear of your machine yet it is leaking out from the front.

Thanks for reply. Turned out it was the inlet pipe not quite tight at the tap. Somehow the drip was running down the outside of the pipe and ending up at the front of the machine even though the floor is level. Probably running along the side of adjacent kitchen cabinet.
