Here’s hoping,
had engineer round yesterday and he replaced outer drum but whilst doing so found that leak was coming from dispenser hose to drum connection.
Fitted new drum and resealed duff connection and i’ve got a wash on now so i’ll get back later with result. 😆

Further to situation,
checked this morning and starts leaking when final intake of cold water goes into the machine. Can feel leak about 6 -8 inces from left of machine ( from front on ) i.e either below the soap dispenser or just to right of it. It catches on the rail at the botom and then spreads out.

Know what you mean,
i,ve had the old one out (it was the same machine but made by creda i think ) and it was a mare.
Thengineer says he,ll replace pump next if has to come back – which he will as it leaked on 1st wash after his visit when he said couldn,t find a problem
