There are 4 places it could be leaking. 1) at the connection where the water line connects to the dishwasher. If the dishwasher has been in operation for a long time then this is not likely to be the problem. If this were the problem you would notice water even when the dishwasher was not running. 2) at the drain hose connection. You would notice the water during and shortly after a drain cycle. The drain outlet is usually a hard plastic over which the rubber drain tube is clamped. Either the plastic could crack or the hose could dry out and crack. 3) The seal around the pump could be leaking. 4) The door seal could be leaking, though this in not usually the problem. You can probably determine the problem by removing the bottom panel so that you can see underneath the unit, and then run a cycle. There are usually 2 screws between the door bottom and the lower panel (near the sides of the machine) and 2 more screws at the
bottom of the lower panel (the recessed part of the panel) near the sides. Don't stick your hand under there because you will have power to the unit and a wet floor. That is a bad combination which could be lethal. Just shine a flashlight under and see where the water is leaking from as it runs. Remove power at the circuit breaker before trying to do any service on the unit.
