One of the balance weights came loose very early after we bought it. Took it apart, reattached. Fast forward, it happened again. This time getting caught behind the boot seal. I ignored it Now the boot seal is torn. Hasn’t really been an issue. But then there is leaking from the left rear area. Looking for help locating the correct replacement parts and advice for how best to tackle the self repair.

From the pictures you shared, I’d honestly say it’ll be much less expensive in the long run to replace the whole washer. Damage like that usually leaves behind hidden issues you don’t discover until after you’ve already put in major repairs, and by then you’ve sunk a lot into it. For this repair, you would be looking at a minimum of replacing the front tub assembly, the rear tub assembly, counterweights, door gasket, and possibly the spider shaft and vibration dampers.
