This is a description of the repair of a Bosch dishwasher SHE66C05UC which had water leaking into the lower tray.

Cliff Notes version: The sump pump drain hose was leaking at the support post located near the outlet of the pump. The solution is so replace the sump drain hose.

Full Story: The dishwasher was stuck in drain cycle. Even if I reset the dishwasher, when I would turn the unit on the sump/drain pump would turn on. After I reviewed the Appliance Pro forums, I disassembled the side of the unit and noticed that the tray was full of water. I knew there must be a leak somewhere, but I had to find it.

Finding the leak: To find the leak, I shut off the supply water to the dishwasher. Then using a sponge and paper towels, I was able to get all the water out of the bottom tray. I then turned the supply water back on and started looking for the leak. I noticed a small water flow coming from the sump drain hose support column located near the outlet of the sump pump. I took out the drain hose and notice there was a small hole in the hose.

Making the repair: I ordered a new hose from Appliance Pro's and reinstalled it. No more leak. I have attached pictures where the leak occurred and the hole in the hose. I hope this helps others in rectifying this problem.

Good job!

That's the beauty of flexible plastic in place of rubber hose. The flexible plastic won't kink, but the rubber hose would still be good after 20 years. ;)
