I should add that the machine is less than 3 years old, I always never overfill the drum, I did a half load tonight of small items like underwear and it still leaked, been doing this for about a month now

If you have hard water in your area, you may have limescale deposits around the part of the door which makes the seal when it's closed - mainly the glass part. It would be worth wiping it all over with a washing -up scrubbie moistened with white vinegar. If that doesn't work - maybe your rubber door seal itself has become a bit worn and needs replacing, but if you're not a really heavy user of the machine, that shouldn't happen. Next to check is the actual door lock - is it closing properly - if not you'll need a technician to repair it. The problem is that the door is not making an effective seal when closed, and when the machine goes into a fast spin, water is being expelled. The drawer shouldn't leak, but take it out and give it a good scrub with white vinegar in case it's limescale also.

Hotpoint Washing Machine Door Seal

Your drain could be back filling into the machine due to the high volume of water, check the drain hose or even your main drain for possible blockages. Also there are shock absorber type things behind the drum if these are shot the drum could be moving around so much it would disrupt the door seal causing the leak. Hope you get this fixed..

my hotpoint did that the other day . it washed everything ok then the last rinse it leaked and i could not find out to! i had to take the whole machine out of the fitted unit and got into the pipe at the back unscrewed it and you should have seen what was in there !! a whole hankerchief and hair clips also buttons and wire half moon shaped? which i think came from a support bra!
anyway i cleaned it and put it all back together an hey presto ! no more leaks. i hope you get yours fixed like i did for free .

Almost cetainly the door boot, open the door, push the drum back at the bottom and inspect between the folds at the bottom, there will be a tear there. You have to get a replacement boot, either the repair man or a fiddly diy job. You will need four hands to diy. mail me if you need more instruction.

the rubber may look okay to you but as you have mentioned it is less than three years old which might have deteriorated already and does not properly serves it function in blocking the water from leaking!!!!
or there might something else be seriously wrong!

If its a front load machine, you should check the rubber seal in the front. It maybe damaged.
