Casual,

Is this washer in some place where you can safely remove the covers and
still run it, a room without children or pets. Find the leak. You won't
fix
the leak until you find it.
The tub should be level if the frame or cabinet is level. The tub sits on
some sort of agitatator mechanism which is bolted to the frame. When
you've
got the cabinet opened up you should be able to put a level on the tub
top.
Here's a URL which will help you taker your washer apart though I'd let
the warranty guys do this.

Yes, the only way I see to solve this is to track down where the water
is coming from. Either by leaving the back cover off, etc, or else
by taking it apart when the leak is present. It's intermittent and
waiting for a service call allows it to dry up. If you go at it
right when it's leaking, you will be able to see where the water is
actually coming from.

I tend to doubt it has anything to do with the tub being not perfectly
level. IMO, it would have to be off by a huge amount for that to
result in water on the floor.

Is there any consistency to when in the cycles the water appears?


Yes, whenever it leaks, it's always at the beginning of a spin cycle - as
the water is being pumped out of the tub - it's not a flood, but it's a
constant trickle - when it leaks - remember, it doesn't leak every time. It
seems like when the water is finished being pumped out, the leak stops.
Hope that makes sense.
