Leaky washer
I just got a new-used washer that is probably about 15-20 years old, but runs like champ and really gets the dirty clothes clean again, the bad thing is, it leaks pretty badly, which is why I got rid of the last machine.

I have ckecked all of the hose connections and they are fine, the water appears to be coming from inside somewhere. Does anyone have any experience taking a washer apart? Does anyone have a good notion of where I could start diganosing the problem? I only spent $25 for the washer, but I can't justify replacing it unless it is truly a lost cause!

Thanks in advance for your help!

If you can supply the manufacturer and model number of the washer then maybe we could come up with some suggestions but if we don't know if it is a wringer type, top loader or front loader then we are as much in the dark as you are.

Any chance this machine is a Maytag?

Shoot - Now that I'm at work and have read your posts, I realize I did leave out quite a lot of info - and I can't get to the washer to tell you - I'll have to get back to ya'll tomorow with the wahser details - he he, it is a top loader - I know that much!
