I an not sure about that particular model, but most of the Maytags have a "coin trap" in the drain system underneath, before the drain pump.
It is either behind a small door on the from of the machine, or the bottom panel may pull off. There may also be a drain pipe that can be removed to avoid flooding the kitchen!
Unscrew the cover and remove it, clean out any items trapped in there and replace the trap.
1) The water leak itself may be due to the drain pump pushing the object out through the side of the hose from the drum. It is possibly something like a hairclip is at fault.
2) Another possibility is that the object is caught between the drun and the housing, but is too big to be drawn into the drainage pipe, it is then catching between the drum and housing when on the spin cycle.
