washer leaks from bottom

i have an older model roper whirlpool topload washer that has started to leak from underneath????

Hello,

You are going to find the problem is more than likely with the drain pump. This would be the most common thing to leak on this type of washer. Not likely that the tub bearings are leaking.

One other thing that may have happened is something may have gotten between the inner and outer tub and wore a hole in it. This would be more likely to have happened than the tub bearings. I would go for the pump first.

Let me know how you make out and what you find.

Thanks,
Bill
