I repaired the pipe that exits the drum mounted pump to a union on the frame. The leak is there at the union or between there and the back of the machine. Beyond there I can see it directly and it's all dry. When it all dries out a bit I'll have another go. The repaired bits seem leak free but it looks like the biggie wasn't them.
Otherwise it's build a duct tape dam and live with it. The floor is deliberately sloped to the outside door and a drain to cover this type of problem. I can just make the leakage flow to there.

What? And end up with a giant omelette.

Yaesu VHF/UHF transceiver I bought cheap not working...
Had to track down the issue which turned out to be a voltage regulator that had gone high blowing the two audio amp chips.. Nothing like a nice surface mount repair to start off the day

Well done.
That's an upgrade I've done recently and it really makes a difference.

Re: What have you fixed lately?
I turned a 7ft marine ply crate into 2 compost bins, as my old compost bins have composted themselves.

there's got to be money in that a compost bin that composts itself at the end of its life

Re: What have you fixed lately?
Just replaced the felt roof on our shed - four and half hours of fun, and got it finished just before the skies opened.

Fan oven: Fitted new element that came today. Oven was already dismantled as I had got the old element out to check the dimensions so relatively painless to put it back together. Works fine so decent roasties back on the menu.

Cleaned the innards of my daughter's Xbox 360S. What a palaver to open the box!

Re: What have you fixed lately?
I gave up refelting, the local cats shredded it in no time. So I decided to featherdge it. Solid as a rock now.
