Removed lower front panel and it looks like the water is leaking towards the back so does a seal fail when a bearing goes out. Please help and thanks. I mean really three problems all at once. Should I find the nearest cliff and push the washer off.

Thank you very much for getting back to me it means alot.:cool:
