Default dishwasher leak

My Whirlpool GU2300XT/B2 dishwasher has a tiny leak under the right
side of the door. It is not leaking under the rest of the dishwasher
where the guts of the unit are. I have removed the access panel and
inspected the underneath carefully to ensure there are no other leaks.

The leak is maybe 1/8 cup per load, if not less. I can actually watch
the dripping occur at the right edge of the door onto the floor. I
have stuck my hand up into the door from underneath but can't
determine where it is coming from exactly. I have also removed the
front panel of the door and inspected the area around the soap
dispenser but the insulation is all dry there and everywhere else.

The gasket is attached to the inner body and the door closes upon it.
I have pulled the gasket out on the side that leaks, inspected, wiped
it clean, and reinserted it back in.

Unfortunately the leak still persists. Any thoughts?


These are the possible causes I can think of...

1. bad gasket

2. gunk built up on gasket and/or case where gasket hits

3. loose/bent hinge
