washer leaking water under machine, only when using warm fill up. Doesnt seem to leak with just cold or just hot fill up. All outside hoses dry. Already changed both belts, one was off completly. just the other day.
Thanks for any help you may have.

Operate it with the front panel off and see if you can determine where the leak is coming from. What I suspect is that with the warm water setting you have more water pressure than either hot or cold, and that the leak is coming from a broken splash guard.

I have seen this before on these Maytags

Thanks so much Sid...looked for the leak after taking off the front panel and it was from the top left area. After removing the top lid, it turned out to be the "intake valve". Very common problem from what i hear. Its a small black tube with plastic inner piece, costs about 4$. Its where the main water comes in from back of the machine and its to airate the water.
It can get hard and rotted and not allow water to flow properly and squirts the water out on of the top, thu a plastic shield it has over it. Its anout in the middle left upper area of the machine.
Thanks again for your helpful directions
