Kitchenaid washer kaws800gq1

kitchenaid washer kaws800gq1 leaking from the bottom front right side. it is leaking during filling, does not leak while in wash or rinse cycle. How do i find the leaking part? can i run it when i take the metal washer cover off to watch for leak? I really do not want to buy a new washer, all i keep reading about online are the newer models all break in a year or two, and that the low water models take 2 or three times to get cloths clean. TIA
