I can see the leak running down the outside of the agitator shaft under the drum - I can't get the plastic drum loose to see how to stop the link (I assume there is a gasket, or sealant problem). Can anyone help me remove the plastic drum?

[PS Staff - Sheila]

It is likely the tub seal that is leaking.

You will have to remove the agitator and the inner tub to get at the seal.

Here is a link to your washer model SAV515DEWW.

i'd check for loose hose connections first around pumps and tub drain before going for the big guns.

Thank you both - Sheila - Do I need a special tool to remove the Seal Nut? tha is where I stopped. I can loosen it wth a wrench, but I didn't know if it was threaded and therefore didn't want to break it.

[PS Staff - Sheila]

The nut is threaded.

There is a special tool, but if you break the nut it does come in the seal kit number 13 on the break down.
