Why does my washing Machine leak?
I have a washing machine, it is only a year old, but water comes out from underneath and the tap under the sink appears to be leaking.
I have tried adjusting the water pipe placements etc and it is still happening.
Any ideas?
Thank you

Check the water supply hose to the machine
I would check the feeding hose to the washing machine, and its connection to the mains valve.
These are often caused by a hole in the water pump or leaky internal washing machine drain hoses.
Usually this is due to the rubber washers on the machine hoses. Often they are only hand right and come loose. In this case it sounds like the waste trap under the sink is leaking and this could be due to a blockage or work seals

would be down the the rubber washer rings in the feed pipe, can also leak if the plastic coupling is done up to tights causing misalignment of the joints
Ensure the correct seals are in place when screwing the pipe in
Try using some ptfe tape on threads
