Leaks water inside from the ports or vents under freezer but in fridge
Your problem more than likely is a plugged defrost line in the freezer...The freezer goes through periodic defrost cyles to keep the coils from freezing up. The water catches in a trough pan in the freezer and flows through a drain hole to the bottom of the fridge where it evaporates. This drain hole perodically freezes up and the water accomulates under the freezer bottom until the water level reaches your vent ports to the fridge section. Open your freezer and on the bottom floor of your freezer you should see two screws near the front on either side. Remove them and then take out the bottom tray....this will expose the drain hole near the rear of the freezer compartment. You will more than likely have to remove ice under the tray in order to see the drain hole. Remove the lower back panel on the back of the refrigerator and you should be able to see the drain line coming from the freezer. Unplug the refrigerator before you begin work. It will take a little while for the drain line to thaw to allow liquid to flow to the bottom. I find a hair dryer pretty handy in speeding up the process. To verify you have unplugged the drain line you should be able to pour hot water in the drain hole in the freezer and see it come out at the rear of the fridge in tube line just above a little catch pan

Freezer leaking water and freezing
you probably have a plug in the drain line that normally drains the water when your freezer goes into the defrost mode. at the base of the refrigerator there is a evaporative drain tray where the water drains from the freezer into the tray and evaporates during normal operation of the unit. You should be able to see the drain tube just above the tray. Attach a hose to it and use compressed air to blow through it and clear it out.

try this first :
turn your thermostat down first until the fridge stops .
turn the thermostat back up only a quater of the way and wait to see if the fridge turns on and off as usual .
if it does , the thermostat is ok .
if it does not , i believe the thermostat is dead .
in regards to the ice in the fridge part , you maybe have the fridge turned to far up but let me know how you go .

Water setteling on bottom of freezer side and freezing also leaking. 2 fridges both doing the same thing . leaking on the inside and freezing and underneath water is leaking.
Clean out the defrost drain. There is a drain in the freezer that lets all the defrost water run under the fridge. If that gets clogged then all the water runs into the freezer and can even leak onto the floor

Bosch KSU 40 fridge leaks water
I found that the entire defrost system had frozen over. to check the fridge for this problem you will need to:

pull out fridge, turn off power, remove cord (whilst at the back check the grills are clean, all dust in the cavity of the house and the condensor is clean and ensure that the 'travel wedge' has been removed from the engine.

remove food and shelves from freezer compartment.

with small (2.5mm wide) standard pop the three white screw covers up from the bottom tray. Undo the 2 philips head screws (with a 2 point screwdriver) Pull tray out. Lot of ice underneath? It's frozen over! you're going deeper!

Remove centre tower by squeezing the sides at the base near the rear wall. remove.

Chisel ice and remove, pour a little hot water down the two funnels at the rear.

To examine how fair the problem is and to let air to circulate you can remove the rear wall and polysterene insulation by removing the panel in the left upper portion with the 2.5mm screwdriver and removing the red, far right socket (this is the fan's point). Use 2 point and remove the 2 screws on the rear wall and remove, remove insulation. You're in.

Let completely defrost, clean up and dry all water and re-install.
