Any ideas

If the seal for this part's shaft is where the leak is then you have to replace the sump as the seal is part of the sump. Click on the picture for more views/info on this part. Part number: W10134035

Part number: W10134035 OK - I replaced the sump after replacing the motor diverter and the DW still leaks out of a hole in the diverter - just a small drip during certain cycles but enough to know it is not right - so new motor diverter and new sump - I checked the diverter to make sure it is seated all of the way and re-checked the screws that hold it in place. Any ideas??

Could be a seal is pinched or twisted. I can tell you that when I install parts I always put a light coating of lithium grease on the seals this seems to help prevent twists etc.
