Hello. I have whirlpool Cabrio washer model wtw5840bw0 with a leak and I can't figure out the cause. From what I read the most common things are the drain pump and the tub seals. First thing I was I bought new seals but that didn't fix it. I then purchased a drain pump, I also turned down the water pressure but still have leaking issues. The leak isn't a small one. Its kinda big and takes usually 2 or 3 big towels to dry it up and it happens every time I do a load usually during the whole cycle.. Any idea of what it could be or to check?

It's hard to tell exactly where the leak is coming from. It's not one single spot pinpoint.I plan on running it elevated and secured so I can see underneath while its running. It sorta looked like it was coming out the side of the transmisson case, but can't be exactly sure. Would that make any sense or what would be causing that?

So after observation it looks like it is leaking all out around the transmission case. Is that what a leaking seal looks like? I took everything apart and put it back together and it seems the leak is slightly better but still a lot and leaking out through the case.I took out the drum this time first, because I didnt do it last time. It lines up easier and better. I didnt change the bearings either but that wouldn't cause a leak would it, just performance? Am I over looking something or possibly had a faulty seal
