Is this opening where you put the lever to turn the table or did the base open up[ a hole on its own? There should be no water from under the out let to the trap. If you have a internal leak it's best to replace the unit. Good luck. Tom

X2 for Tom. If it is leaking there, it is leaking past the motor seal. If it an occasional drip, you have some life left, but typically its time to replace.

I agree with both above post's. If it is indeed leaking from the bottom, you are in need of a completely new garbage disposal.

4 for 4, I'd replace the unit.
