First time poster here...Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

So I got a "great" deal on a new Whirlpool dishwasher, which was on clearance at Lowes. It had a repair number on it and when asked the fellow in appliances about it, he told me the guy that purchased it said it leaked. He said it got sent back, tested for 2 months, and no leak was detected. Well after one cycle of running it I found the leak. See attached pics..THe leak appears to be a gasket? Any thoughts/suggestions?

You can see the water droplet coming out between the thin "white" plasting piece and the grey plastic.

Does anyone know the part that is leaking? My first inkling is to return and get my money back, but i paid almost a third of the price so if the fix isn't that difficult i may give it a try.

After doing a little search, it appears to me that it may be a $3 part; grommet (#13 in diagram) in the pump assembly.

Is it difficult to remove the pump assembly to get to this part?
