Leaking a lot from bottom when dishwasher is run and leaks less when not in use and water is running. Otherwise motor runs well and disposal works. Is this leak fixable or do I need to replace unit?
Check hose and connection from the dishwasher to the unit. Look for cracks and proper installation.

Don to install a new one.
don't think it is a DYI and by the time you call for service it would be cheaper and use your DIY.
Hope this is a FixYa

Press a piece of chewing gum in the leaking area--and if that doesn't do the trick --which it wont of course Throw the darn thing away--buy a Evolution Elite by Insinklerator--pretty quiet about $200.00 though--worth it..

Hi,
My bet is that the garbage disposal in not what is leaking... the connection to the bottom of the sink is leaking and running down the sides of the disposer...
Look higher and you will find your leak..

Hi,
Obviously you didn't like what I answered you before, but if that is not the case and the leak is infact coming out of the bottom of the disposal then you are really not going to like the bad news I have for you now...
I had to remove a disposal today to fix a sink that is exactly like yours, so I took a close look at it an the bottom line is that if you are getting water out of the motor then you have a seal leaking where the motor shaft goes into the grinder part.
From what I can see on from this exploded diagram that is not even repairable and the part you would need is not available.....
So... it looks like you need to look for a new one... or check to see if you have had it less then two years...they do have a two in home warranty...
sorry I can't give you better news...
