Why is my washer leaking?
Why is my washer leaking a lot from the bottom
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.
Cause 3
Tub Seal
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.

Cause 4
Door Boot Seal
The door boot seal might be torn, causing water to leak from the seal. If the boot seal is torn, replace it.
Cause 5
Tub-to-Pump Hose
The tub-to-pump-hose might be split or torn. If the tub-to-pump-hose is damaged, replace it. Do not attempt to cut off the damaged piece of hose and stretch the hose to fit the pump. Stretching the hose will put strain on the remainder of the hose and may cause the hose to suddenly rupture.
Cause 6
Drain Hose
The drain hose may be leaking. The drain hose most commonly leaks from the connection between the pump and the back of the washer. If the washer is pushed too far against the wall, the hose can rub against the wall and form a leak. Inspect the drain hose for leaks. If the drain hose is leaking, replace it.

We did the tub seal and bearing replacement kit. Washer didn't leak for two weeks, now leaking again. We are totally frustrated as we have had out Maytag Bravos XL for only six years.
We checked the hoses and drain pump when we had the machine totally apart. Also the three dispensers...detergent, bleach and fabric softener.
@drewann2 , Ann, Could be a bad seal, loose cracked hose/fill valve, cracked tub, cracked pump housing which is said to be a common problem if original pump, machine over filling, etc.. There are a few links below that may help in identifying your washers problem and the last link show's tear down to replace a bad seal, just to show what may be involved in repairing your machine. If not comfortable making repairs contact a good local appliance repair Tech. and have them take a look, diagnose and estimate repair. Good luck.
I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button.
