It's most common for the whirlpool made direct drive washers to leak from one place, the water pump.
You could check this by running some water into the washer and then pump it out once it starts to leak.
Tip the washer back and look up under it. The water pump is located front, bottom center. You should see were it drips yet after you pump the water out.
Here is a little guide that shows you the water pump.
