'Hoover Electra 550' dual spin with leak at bottom of the drum/seal?

Hi, I am wondering how to fix a 'Hoover Electra 550' dual spin front loading washing machine that leaks from the bottom of the drum / seal above the motor. I tryed tighting the bolts but still a small leak there on wash cycles. Any tips info would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks Mike.

I am just repairing the same problem as you have and it is an intresting job because I had to replace the bearing and oil seals. But at the same time it could be just the hose which is above the motor, it could be brittle and therefor leaking.
Could you please givce me the serial number from your washing machine because my machine has no serial number attached, as I need that for order an oil seal. I appreciate your help. Your appliance doctor Beat
