small leak at tub bottom

Hi,

I am retired with a lot of time on my hands but not much money. The washer has developed a small leak at the bottom of the plastic tub. I have already ordered the new seal and plan on also using some caulking for added security from future leaks. I am good at mechanical repairs, but prefer to use a service manual rather than fumbling my way through this repair, because I don’t want to damage other parts while disassembling and reassembling. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance,

Emilio
