It sure looks corroded, but I can't see just what the corroded part is.

Two possibilities:

The gasket at the bottom of the tub is leaking and it just have to be cleaned up and replaced. Probably a few hours work to disassemble, then assemble with a new gasket.

The tub or a major component is corroded and needs to be replaced. The cost is going to be very high and it may be time to buy a new DW. If I'm reading the photo correctly, the tub is the flange around the motor assembly and looks OK.

Best bet it to take it out, turn the DW on its back and take a good look. Once you are positive what is leaking you can decide if repair is in order and if you have the ability to do it.

I turned dishwasher upside down and removed 4 screw that hold the motor. Motor is now can be moved a little but still hold in place by something else I can't see. I also unscrewed plastic drain? pipe that is just above the corroded part. How can I remove motor completely?

Here some better pictures of

I disassembled machine ad got the motor out. The seal around the motor seems to be OK. To me it looks like leak is coming somewhere from the motor shaft. What do you think? [IMG]

The images don't show up. Says they were deleted or moved.

Could be a motor seal of some sort though, but that is a guess as I'm in the dark.
