Washer leaks during a spin cycle-
This is usually caused by a faulty drain hose. Check it for cracks or pinholes and replace, if necessary. Make sure to remove the back panel and look inside where the drain hose connects to the assembly. Take your time and follow it all the way to the end.
Sometimes tubs can develop small cracks. The tub will hold water during the wash cycle but the pressure of spinning can cause leaking.

Leaks during filling only-
Check the water downspout inside for cracks.
Check the vent tube, located near the inlet valve. These can crack.

Leaks all the time-
Check inlet hoses for cracks and tighten all clamps and fittings.
Try to isolate leak. Remove the washer's main panel (usually in the back).
Water could be coming from the water pump or their could be a crack in the tub.
If the leak is at the bottom of the tub, then the main seal is the problem. Try tightening it, if possible. If not, call in a pro.
