Faulty water inlet valve – can leak while the machine is filling.
Damaged internal hose – tub-to-pump or dispenser hoses may crack over time.

Most Common Fix: Replace the Drain Pump or Damaged Hose

If your washer is leaking from underneath, the pump or one of the drain hoses is often the first place to inspect. Cracks, loose clamps, or worn seals can allow water to escape during operation.
