It is so common that the drain leaks in many ways and is the most problematic fault in a washing machine. In all occasions it is important that your observation is most important and so is vital to the identification /rectification and solution. If you have noticed that water has leaked then as the drain hose pump/valve and fittings are located on the underside of the machine it is important that you look for possible leaks here. In some cases the drain hose would be clogged at the drain end to outlet of the house and so there will be back flushing resulting in overflow to the outside. Also the drain pump/valve can be clogged or the drain hose clamps can be loose on the grip which can all cause the leak to occurs. Removing and Cleaning the drain pump/valve, tightening of the hose is also very important. Also water can leak if there is gaps on the front door gaskets and must be checked but this will happen only during the cycle and not on the drain cycle end.

SOURCE: I have a front loading frigidaire washer gallery 1670 series

I would say yes, its worth keeping. Mine leaked a while ago and I bought a new pump assembly. I think it was about $70. You can remove the two screws on the bottom of the bottom face plate and remove the cover. The pump is on the right side. Look for goo leaking out of the shaft seal. Verify before you buy parts, It could be the rubber boot torn or something similar.
Don't reach inside untill its unplugged.
You can replace the shocks easily too. Lots of parts places online with illustrated parts catalogs.

Hello msmm50 - Contact a professional so they can properly and accurately diagnose the unit for repairs. Sounds like you have a leak in the drain lines or the water valve.

Frigidaire gallery front load washer dripping sound

With any front load machine manufacturers suggest to leave the door open after cycles to help evaporate the water - this is even done in top loading machines nowadays. Also clean the unit with bleach water and rinse in high temp water cycles.

Frigidaire gallery series front load washer leaking water on side where soap dispenser is. Have had two different repair places take a look at it- replaced soap dispenser- still leaks - repair people can't...

turn down the water pressure on the water line to the washer if the water pressure is to high it will splash out of the filler. there should be a vale on the main water line to the washer.
