Dishwasher leaks underneath when pumping - drain valve housing?

Our Kenmore Elite dishwasher is leaking steadily from underneath while pumping. Just started a few days ago - unit is 3 yrs old. It seems to be leaking from the valve/drain flange/ housing on side of motor/pump cylinder at bottom center of unit. Is that flange/valve housing removable and serviceable?

Update (02/25/2018)

The dishwasher is a Kenmore Elite Ultraclean Model 665.1279, purchased in May of 2015.

@bags take a look at the float gasket and see if that is where it is leaking from #11 in illustration

Other possibilities are the drainhose #15 or the sump and seal assembly #4
