Out that hole I drew the arrow pointing to. Water pools above it but I can't figure out how it's getting there. I see no other drips or water anywhere other than here. The hose above it seems free of leaks and I'm pretty sure it's coming from the motor shaft as well. It leaks the entire time that it's running, and continues to drip for some time after it's shut off. Any ideas? Thanks.

I'd say it was your drain impeller and lower seal that is leaking. WP makes a nice kit that replaces all the important parts. Thanks for the pics, it really helps.

Luckily I've had 26 years of experience with Kenmores. I added "665." to the front and came up with the kit part number.model no. 665.1777581 Whirlpool 675806 Drain & Wash Impeller Kit - AppliancePartsPros.com Installation video.

It happens sometimes when the impeller cracks and it leaks for a very long time before being noticed.
