My top load washing machine is leaking water from the bottom while running. When we originally bought it, they said the washer had a leak. When we got it home, it wasnt leaking. When we got the dryer a few weeks later, we had to move the washer to get the dryer in. Now it is leaking again. What could be causing this issue?
Is this a good question?

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.
