Our 6 year old Frigidaire dishwasher just started leaking. It cycles and runs normally, but after a couple of hours there will be a small puddle underneath. It ends up being 1-2 cups of water throughout the course of the day/night.

I checked the visible connections & fittings during the run/drain cycle and everything was dry. By the end, the motor mount bracket was a little damp. I pulled everything from the inside and it looks good, but somehow the water that's left in the bottom of the tub is slowly leaking out over time. Would the next step be to pull it out to access the motor connection?

I've attached a photo of where the water is dripping. Any ideas would be helpful.

Thanks!

It seems to me that the only place it could be leaking is at the O ring where the motor connects to the main housing. Would this be a common place for a leak?

That's the only place I can't see because the motor mount is in the way. Everything else seems dry.

Yes that could be where it is leaking.

You may be able to narrow it down by using a small mirror and a flashlight.
The mirror I am referring to is the type used by mechanics, like a dentist's mirror just larger. Or tape a small mirror at an angle onto a dowel ____/.
