It is common on Whirlpool models for the water to splash out the top when filling especially when sheets or nylon cloth is loaded in the washer. Air fills the cloth and balloons the garment up this caused water to bounce off the garment and splash out the back. This is the most common reason for those mysterious leaks. Lowering the water pressure coming into the washer can help prevent this.
Testimonial: "The problem was the balancing spring on the rear bottom of the tub had rusted through. This made the tub lean forward, which caused water from the water spout to splash out the back and run down to the floor. All the hoses, inlet valve, inlet spout are ok. Put a new spring on it, Sears Part # 8534035 or substitute # 285901. It comes with 3 springs. My motor had blue stripes on it, so I used the spring with blue stripe. There is one with a green stripe and a plain silver with no stripe. Use the one that matches the color on your motor. The other 2 are a little longer, but I think they could be used, is needed, by hooking bottom end on a hole a little further from the one it is currently in. I removed the cabinet to get to it. A 15 minute job, if you have the same problem. The problem is figuring where the water leak is coming from and eliminating the other parts that typically leak, like the hoses, water pump, etc. The new spring pulled the back of the tub back down and it now fills/rinses without splashing out the back."
