Whirlpool washer leaks from front while filling

Top loading washer leaks from the bottom when filling - water drips from the front panel in about the middle of the machine. Does not pour out profusely - but more than just drip-drip. It almost appears to be leaking from the tub - but why only when it is filling? Is there a valve or something in the front of the machine that could be stuck? Or is a filling hose routed in such a way that it could be leaking from the bottom front of the machine when filling? Thanks for any pointers...

Pulled the cabinet as suggested - ran through a fill cycle (did not need to bypass lid switch for filling - but did need to for draining tub) - as the tub filled - water was leaking from the pump. Replaced pump - problem solved. Thanks for the help - the video was also very helpful. :)
