Sock it to me!! Nice detective work and nice machine!

Small update:

This machine ultimately did leak a bit from the large tub seal. The rubber of the original seal was in good shape, so the rust pitting (small amount) was likely the cause.

We used the machine for a short while for smaller loads with a lower water level that wouldn't aggravate the condition, then I unhooked it to paint that mating surface. Life got busy, and that never happened, so this is back on the plate to finish this up soon.
