Re: Washer over filling and leaking down on the bottom
Most common cause of your problem is a clogged relief/drain tube. This can either be the hose itself is clogged, a clog in the drain line, or a clog in the drain pump itself.

First ck to see if your water pump is leaking. It normally leaks when the machine is running not just filling. Also look at all the attaching rubber hoses under the machine and see if water is leaking down the back right side of the machine and then running around the frame to the front long shot but possible.
The screw in the washer tub, is not a factor in this. I'm not sure what brand of machine you have, but several machines have a fill hose that connects to the outer tub of the machine. Sometimes when a machine gets loaded heavily, during the spin cycle items in the machine can actually knock the fill hose right out of the tub. Then when the machine trys to fill the next time, all the water runs down the outside of the tub and leaks out of the bottom of the machine. Repair is to open up the machine. You'll need to remove the top cover and that will give you access to the hose/tub connection. It may be as simple as reinserting the hose back into the drum or you may need to replace it if it got too damaged and won't stay in the hole correctly. If you need specific how to's on opening up the machine, get back to us with the make and model info and we'll be happy to help you open that washer up! K
That washer is inspected by raising the top. Insert a putty knife into the crack between the top of the front panel and the bottom of the top. There are 2 spring-type clips holding the top down. You should feel the clips resisting as you push. When the top is up, you can see down into the machine, and hopefully see your leak. If not, the (2) 5/16" hex screws now revealed can be removed to remove the front panel for better access to components under the tub.
it sounds like the bleach fill line. at the top of the washer is a bleach fill cup, it might attach to it. this black bleach fill line attaches to the bleach fill cup to the bottom of the tub.
