The washer has been making a loud bearing like noise for the last couple of loads and on the last load it started to leak a little. I was thinking it was the pump but how do I determine wheather it it the pump or the trans or some other bearing.
You have to remove the front panel to access all parts inside and pinpoint the leak.
