Hi la_marko and welcome, you'll need to remove the cabinet to see where the wate is coming from, this link should help with that. Post back with anymore questions. Good luck

One of the more common leask areas is where the drain pipe exits the frame. The plastic wears through on the metal frame. You will need to pull the washer away from the wall and start looking.

All you helpers will yuk it up on this one...
With your help, I got the washer opened up and was expecting massive water-leak corrosion inside. Surprise -- no evidence of any leak...
Then partially filled the tub and cycled to pump it out. Water started running out from under the baseboard under the laundry sink! Must be a rusted or split drain pipe within the wall.
Good news: washer is working fine.
Bad news: major wall demolition and new piping is needed.
(I'd rather totally rehab/replace the washer than tear out/replace the plumbing!)
Thanks for your help!
