Discovered the end of the dispenser hose was worn and not sealing tightly causing water to run down and drip off the outer plastic tub. Originally I thought the tub was leaking since I saw it dripping from there. I took the washer apart and was going to try and use JB plastic weld to fix it. But then I saw the dirty water line from the hose to the bottom of the tub and how the worn the end of the hose was. Thank goodness it was only the hose.
Also, discovered one of the 4 shock absorber (Dampner) was no longer attached to the drum which explains why the spin cycle was making loud thumping sounds. Replaced the dampner as well..
I've run about 5 loads now and no water leak and spin cycle is much quieter. Whew!
