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!

Why does washing machine leak from the bottom?
The most likely cause of a washing machine leak is a small hole in the rubber door seal which can be easily replaced.As a temporary measure the seal can be loosened and twisted 180degrees until the top is at the bottom. Probably a bad tub bearing. Live with it, or get a new machine. +++ It won't be the bearing because the shaft is outside of the drum, but it could be a leak on one of the pipe joints, or (as happened on mine) on the pump, which does use a shaft running through a bush and seal from the inside to the outside of the pump body.
