at first I thought the problem (small leak during wash) was due to the small missing

tightly enough with the automatic locking mechanism and water gets inside the glass
enclosure bottom.

is there a DIY guide to taking apart the door and perhaps getting some spare parts for
the Bosch Nexxt 500 series or perhaps someone can recommend an online forum that you
like.

I had a similar situation and the extended warranty took care of it.
A couple of small chunks out of the door gasket was the issue with
leaking from under the door onto the face of the machine. The
repairman was looking into another issue (the things will just stop
working if there's too much soap used in the wash - something about
the foam freaking the machine out), and while he was here he replaced
the gasket at no charge.

I asked him about the water getting inside the viewport window,
between the two panes, and he said that was common, he wouldn't do
anything about it, and the door could be taken apart, cleaned with
bleach and put back together. He seemed to be saying it was a lot of
work for something that would just happen again. Sigh.
