Hotpoint leak ?

[jjb1333]

Hi
I have a Hotpoint washer and have recently noticed a puddle of water underneath.
Upon investigation when the washer is washing a drip appears from the drum underneath where there is a row of screws which looks like where the drum is joined together
The drip of water is quite consistent and soon leads to a pool of water after a full wash.
Is this an easy fix or is it a major problem ?

The wash tub is two halves bolted together. There is a seal between the two. This may beleaking. I would remove the wash tub and screws, run a line of silicone sealant and refit the front. To remove the wash tub is quite involved. The lid, front, door seal clamp, weights, hoses and suspension pegs must be removed.
