** my washer is leaking from somewhere (not the hose)… **
Well someone is going to have to look into it try to determine exactly where the leak is originating. Without knowing that, there is little anyone is likely going to be able to suggest to correct it.
Common places for leaks to occur (besides the external water hoses) are the washer’s internal hoses and the water pump. Leaks from the tub will often leave a trail of soap scum from the point of origin.
