No reason why not - simply run the machine 'empty' (with no washing in) - and follow the instructions on the packaging. It's a good idea - especially if you're in a 'hard water' area. Performing periodic cleaning of an empty machine will prolong its life.

It depends on where it is dripping. The spinning cycle of the machine might be causing the pipes to loosen up. You might want to check out the pipes if they are loose.
Why washing machine leaks from bottom when not in use?
Washing machines are connected to your mains water supply so either there is a problem with your water supply in as much as it is continually leaking when it's not supposed to be in use, or, more likely, there is a blockage in the machine or the water pipes immediately surrounding it which is causing water to flood back out of the machine. It's usually a small item of clothing like a sock (or a collection of them) that has worked its way out of the machine via that gap at the front of the drum just next to the door, and is now blocking your pipes. You may find water bubbling back out of your sinks and bath, depending on their proximity to the washing machine. You need a plumber, quick!

What would cause foul odor in bathroom when washing machine is draining?
Sounds to me like you have a clog in one of your pipes. This causes water from the washing machine to drain into other pipes instead of going down the main line properly. Check the bathtub when the washing machine is draining... they're notorious for filling with old yicky washing machine water! The clog can possibly be in a line ion the house, or possibly be caused by roots in the main line. Sounds like it's time to hire a plumber! Good luck!!
