There are little $5 washers where the hot and cold water solenoid fill valves plug into the machine, which are held in by some screws and easily accessible from right behind control console. Just undo your h/w supply hoses and take cover off behind control console -a few screws and you can easily see if thats your problem. In my case it was just the hot water side (so no leak when doing cold wash). Actually i fixed temporarily using some permatex gasket cement on the old gaskets. But i see the part online.You might find problem fixed by just tightening the solenoid hold down screws a bit, but careful,its all plastique.

There are little valve seals/gaskets where the hot and cold water solenoid fill valves plug into the machine, which are held in by some screws and easily accessible from behind control console. Just undo your h/w supply hoses and take cover off behind control console -a few screws and you can easily see if thats your problem. On one unit I fixed using some permatex gasket cement on the old gaskets. On another I used p/n 134371300 Washer Dispenser Inlet Gasket (~$5)from a similar whirpool machine; that seal is not an exact match (they don’t sell these for the Cabrio separate from the $50 valve which is ridiculous) and I wrapped it with teflon tape to make a snugger fit, which is working ok so far.
