Cause 1
Drain Pump
The drain pump pumps water out the drain hose. If the drain pump is cracked or damaged, or if the bearings are worn out, the drain pump may leak water. The drain pump is not repairable—if the pump is leaking water, replace it.
Cause 2
Tub Seal and Bearing Kit
The tub seal might be torn, causing water to leak from the seal. If the tub seal is leaking water, water may leak through the tub seal and into the tub bearings. This can cause the bearings to fail. For this reason, if the tub seal is leaking water, replace both the tub seal and the tub bearings. Be aware that this is a complicated repair and will require disassembling most of the washer.

most front load washers use a rubber/silicone gasket to seal the device. this is likely the culprit. some washers are able to replace this, some come preinstalled to the door, and some come mounted to the framework. i would consult with the manufacturer to find out if they have replacement parts for this.

My whiirlpool front load washing machine is 1month old, but i encounter a water with soap leakage, i dont even know where it came from but the bottom part of my washer is wet and the water leakage is almost 1litter in volume. What will i do?

If it is only 1 month old from new, contact the Whirlpool customer service section in your location and ask for a warranty repair. That's what warranties are for. Do not attempt to repair it yourself so as to not void the warranty.
