I have had this washer for about 4 years.  Recently I noticed it was leaking.  I took the back off and it seems to leak in the final rinse cycle.  It is coming somewhere from the top, but I don't see where.  Both sides are leaking but the right side seems to have more coming out.  Any ideas?  Thank you.

If I were you, I would pop the top up a little bit and watch it during the final rinse. Is it leaking more from the front or the back?

Check out the bleach dispenser. When water runs through it, it should drain fast. If it's clogged it will cause water to flow across the top of the tub cover and drip out the back.

I tried the bleach dispenser and it works fine, of course it couldn't be that easy.   It is leaking in the back the right side is coming down by the suspension rod.  The other side I cannot tell, just leaking down the drum.
