it's definitely worth pursuing. there is a basket seal, a water pump, and hose connections under there. any of which can be changed or repaired far cheaper than a new washer.

similar thing happened to me just after we moved into our new house, i checked everything that i thought could be causing the problem, that is hoses, water pump inlet pipes etc and all were ok. asked my local washing machine suppliers who were very helpful and suggetsted that i check the rubber door boot first,( this is the big rubber seal at the front of the drum between the drum and the body of the machine that acts as a seal when the door is closed) sometimes this can get pulled out of position when getting the washing out, or it could start to perish or split. mine was ok.
The next thing they advised me to check was that the hole from the soap dispenser into the drum as this could be blocked with soap powder build up and restricting the water flow so that the water backs up and overflows down the inside of the machine.
To check this you have to remove the soap dispenser tray by pulling it out to its stop and then giving it a slightly harder tug. then you can look into the hole that it came out of and you should see a large hole at the back where the water and powder go into the drum, mine had got blocked and so i got a bowl of hot water and an old tooth brush and gave the compartment a thorough scrubbing out, i was surprised with the amount of powder build up, once done i then replaced the powder dispenser and this cured the problem.
if this does not do it then you may well need the help of a friendly washing machine repair man.

Easy now pilgrim! If it is just a puddle it might not be much at all! When a washing machine "breaks" it will send water everywhere!
A puddle of water could be too many suds, some spilling over the tub and collecting on the floor as water. I would place some towels around the machine for insurance and try it again without soap.

Copper is a good thing, since your plumber does this type of work on a routine bases. First of all save youself some trouble and spend a few bucks more have your plumber install ball valves instead of those old outdated spigots, since over the years plumbing parts have improved recently since the eighties. You could even have him install a one valve shut off handle or electronic type with a manual shut off valve which can shut off your washing machine while your away or after the machine quits. Since this type of work is time and materials the plumber should not be at your house no longer than an hour and a half tops. I suggest call around to your local plumbers and ask to see how much they charge by the hour you may be amazed on what variation there is in there hourly rates. Since it seems that you have old gate valves before your spigots it seems they at one time have dropped as known in the trade. which means your valves seem to be open on the inside but actually are visible turned off. This happens after time since metals corrode. My first advice is to shut off your water supply and contact your plumber before the problem gets worst and floods your basement and destroys everything.

Look at the rubber seal round the door. these tend to wear through and water runs down inside the machine.
Leaks from the water pump seals is the next bet.
From then onwards scrap it!
Try DABS home for bits for rectification.

When my parent's washing machine started leaking it was going to cost them more to get it fixed than to get a new one. I can't remember what they said the problem was though.

I havent a clue whats wrong without seeing it, but regarding buying a new one, that depends on how old this one is. If it's more than 10 years, consider a new one.

If it is leaking from the front , chances are it is the pump, which is very easily replaced. my husband has worked in the service industry for years and has replaced numerous ones.Good luck, and don't let some one overcharge you.
