Whirlpool duet washer leaking WFW87HEDW

Model: WFW87HEDW

Whirlpool - Duet 4.3 Cu. Ft. 10-Cycle High-Efficiency Steam Front-Loading Washer

Purchase date 5/7/2016

The other day I found the outer boot clamp for my whirlpool front load washer hanging off the boot.  I reset the boot and placed the clamp back on.  I tried running a wash today and the is some water on the floor in front of the washer.  I have 5 kids so it gets a lot of use.  The boot seems pretty tight against the washer.  Should I run it again, try a new clamp or is this a symptom of some other issue?

Thanks for your help

I’d say you need to figure out why the clamp came off in the first place. 

Usually catastrophic problems cause clamps to come off. 

Hows it sound in high speed spin?

The washer is in the basement so I don't have a strong idea of what it usually sounds like but its not so much louder that I hear it when I am in the kitchen directly above the washer, like when I put sneakers in the dryer and can hear that in the kitchen.  I tried reattaching the clamp but it is still leaking.  I have done maybe 10 washes since it came off and it has not come off again. but it is still leaking
