INDESIT WG113D is leaking Water on fill at start of cycle at the rear of the Drum, looks like it could be coming from the Tension loop where a single bolt with a large Torx type head is securing it, no sign of any locking nut - so could this have come loose over time, not sure what the tension loop is and also not sure if there could be some sort of seal behind the rear of the drum that could have perished causing the leak. Any advice much appreciated, i would rather not replace the machine if this is a simple leak to sort out.

By "tension loop" I take it you mean the drum pulley & drive belt?
If water is leaking from behind the pulley then the seal & bearings are shot.
They are replaceable but it isn't a job for the fainthearted http://www.espares.co.uk/parts?k=C00090555

The water is'nt leaking from the middle of the drum where the spindle is - it's from thje outer edge of the back of drum at the bottom where this bolt attaches to a metal loop that goes around the outside edge of the plastic drum housing. Would tightening of this bolt stop the leak or is there a seal behind this, i would need a large torx head driver to do this and there is no lock nut.

If that's where it is leaking then tightening the clamp band might stop the leak (if you are lucky).
If not then you need to replace this http://www.espares.co.uk/parts?k=C00040897 which is an even worse job.

Many Thanks for the replies here. I will have a go at tightening up the band then (glad i was able to make sense to where the leak was coming from and would make sense that the seal has perished). If this does'nt do the trick, and i have to get a PRO in, rough estimate to how long it might take to dismantle and replace the seal - what would be invloved - would it be worth it?
