Is this a TOP LOADER? Or, is this a FRONT LOADER?
If this is a Kenmore TOP LOADER, you will need to remove the exterior washer case to inspect the cabinet interior thoroughly to determine WHERE the leak may be coming from. The following link explains:

The most common source of leaks on a top loader is a worn drain pump. If the pump is damaged and leaking, it is not serviceable and must be replaced. There is a follow-on link included that explains how to replace one.
If this is a Kenmore FRONT LOADER you need to remove the lower toe panel directly below the door to inspect the cabinet interior. The following link explains:

The most common source of leaks on a front loader is the rubber door bellow. The bellow can develop cracks, rips or tears with age and needs to replaced. The following link explains how:

If you have any questions about these repairs, please post back with your complete MODEL NUMBER (located on a nameplate around the door or tub rim) so that I may be able to provide you with better assistance. I hope this helps you.
