It was leaking in the lower right corner, dripping out I washed the inside back and now it's leaking through the whole bottom part, it looks like maybe a gasket or something between the door and the access panel below. But i am not locating a gasket for parts. Does any one know what it could be? Any help would be appreciated, I am horrible at anything home improvement. I have included a picture of the bottom of the machine the crack is where it is leaking at. Wanted to see if it can be fixed cheaply before buying a new dishwasher.

I recently had the same problem and cleaning the vent solved the leak problem it looked like a grease substance .
