Replaced tub gasket and water deflectors but the dw leaks more than it did before repair. Water is coming out the bottom of the door and other places as well Found that by putting a little pressure against the door during operation, the leaking was minimized but still leaking ever so lightly. Adjusted the door latch, didn't help Answers anyone?:(

Open the dishwasher door during the cycle right after it start to leak. Can you see any bubbles/suds inside?

I have opened the dw door after it had started and yes there are bubbles laying on the water. Thought perhaps the drain was now plugged but that checked OK.
There is a slot in the door inside near the top used for drying and it appears there water being thrown thru that opening which might account for the water flooding out the bottom of the door.

Did you use any rinse aid?

Did you rinse dishes prior to load them into the dishwasher, using a dish soap?

Any detergent designed to work in an automated dishwasher does not create a bubbles. Very likely the cause of the water leak in your dishwasher is more chemical than mechanical.
