Does it drain correctly when it dumps the loads of water? Mine looked like it was leaking but actually when it drained the water out the drain pipe at the back overflowed. Washer was perfectly OK but we had the plumber clean our pipes which fixed it.
Maybe sit and watch it through a cycle to see when/how it leaks.

Sorry I can't help you with your leak. But be careful you don't get an electrical shock from the machine. The water might be leaking on to the electrical wires or the motor causing them to short out. If that's the case you might get zapped. Just thought I'd give you a heads up.

make sure that the hoses have O-rings (rubber washers) in them. Also make sure you turn the valve off when not in use untill this is figured out. If it does it all the time look toward the hoses if it only does it when it's washing make sure that the discharge hose is tightened securley to the washer and stuck into the wast line.

It could be the giant gasket at the bottom of the basin. The thing is I'm pretty sure this will be nearly impossible to repair yourself, if this is the case.

make sure its not leaking from hte back, there would still be water gathering on the floor if the water connection wasn't on right.

it could very well be that in moving it the water pump may be bad or the seals on the water pump might be

A small bucket works pretty good
