I recently replaced a drain pump on a 2000 gibson Front loader Model GWT645rhs. Washer now drains and it still spins ok... but there is water leaking from somewhere underneath. There is also still water in the hose and black rubber reservoir from the tub to the pump and from the pump to the outlet hose. Is this normal? Also any suggestion on where to check for leaks?

I discovered the source of the leaks underneath - it appears that two of the nuts are rusted - and the water is dripping from these when the washer is full.
Should this have happened yet - washer is 9 years old - and is it worth fixing?

Not a lot a water leaks yet - should it still be ok to run the machine?

There are five 9mm hex head nuts on the bottom arc of the plastic drum assembly. The three closest to the drain outlet appear visibly rusted. And this is where the water is dripping from. Haven't yet disassembled to see extent of damage.
Can these be easily replaced? Any seals or washers? and could there be other interior rust that would make repair difficult.

Your tub gasket is bad if tightening the scres fails to stop the leak, a big repair job also.
