I was going to buy that part but hoping to make sure that will fix the leaking issue. Is this problem common?

If you could bypass door switch and remove outer cover you could watch it operate and see where the water is coming from. I am not a master tech like others here but I see five leaky water pumps to every one leaky tub.

The simplest thing would be to check the door seal and see if it is damaged in any way and make sure the whole area is clean so a good seal can be made, changing the front bellows may be the solution. I would think paying someone to look at it may be worth while. They could diagnose the problem for you and it could be something you could fix yourself. That way you are not changing parts here and there until you remedy the situation. Other than that I can be of not much help. Sorry about that.
