My Bosch Nexxt 500 Series front loading washer just started leaking yesterday. It is a pretty fast leak, too. I know it is not the drain pump as I took the cover off the drain pump and shined a flashlight under the washer. The best way to describe where the leak is coming from is approximately 8-10 inches from the left and 6 - 8 inches from the back. I put it on the drain and spin cycle and saw it leaking maybe 1 drip every 4 to 6 seconds.

Is this repairable without parts (kind of doubt this) or what parts are probably needed and what is the price? The washer is 10 years old and I've already spent about $125 to repair it (drain pump and cold water inlet valve), so if the price of the part is prohibitive, I might just opt for a new washer as I have $200 in Lowe's gift cards. I did see a Maytag and Whirlpool front loading washer there for $719 (4.5 gallon capacity), which is less than I paid for the Bosch 10 years ago. I might opt for another Bosch, but nothing but 2.5 gallon washers there right now, which is too small for our family.

Took the top off the washer. Found out the hot water valve was leaking. Will need to replace it.
