Maytag A-806 leaking from bottom of tub

Big job but doable for a motivated DIY'er. There are lots of videos and thread available on the subject.

UPDATE: still leaky

I finally had a chance to look at my leaky Maytag. It’s seems to becoming mostly from the thing underneath the tub (but we all know how weird water can be).
