Make sure your machine is lavel and just a little higher in the front about 1/16 in and do not fill all the way to line just under line
DO NOT overfill the bleach dispenser. The first time it happened to me, I knew I had put a little too much bleach in. When I turned the machine on, it ran out and down the front of the machine into a puddle on the floor. I did it once again, and the same thing happened. Now that I'm aware of it, it hasn't happened since.

bleach runs out the front an the floor
I have the same problem. It looks like the dispenser is leaking out of the back--maybe a hairline crack. Is it possible to replace the dispenser?
I have the same problem with my LG. I have found that if I let the entire dispenser drawer dry out completely (remove drawer from unit and air dry) that the bleach dispenser works perfectly. My theory is that once water is in the siphon tube it mixes with the bleach you're adding and starts the siphon (dispensing) process prematurely. I consider this a design flaw.
I had this problem and checked for build-up on the dispensers as recommended by LG, but no build-up. I believe the problem is casued by the front of the dispenser drawer tipping down when extended to add bleach. I stopped this by holding it level as I added bleach and pushed the drawer back into place. So you need to add detergent first then lift the front of drawer to level it then add bleach. When the drawer is extended and tips down the bleach drains from it's compartment and should run into the machine but since the drawer is tipped the bleach runs out the back and dribbles to the front of the drawer. It is a problem with their design there should be a rubber flap or something to assure this does not occur.
