problem with leaking water on my hotpoint washer dryer wmd73?

hi,i have a leak only on the drying side.i have taken the back off and removed the pump.i am a electric motor engineer so i dismantled the pump and cleaned out the inside(which was full of fluff etc).when reconnected and replaced on to the washer it worked ok through a washing cycle, but when i ran the dryer cycle,half way through i noticed a leak coming from under the drum? the pump seems to take water away most of the time and then doesnt which i think creates this problem.please help its doing my head in!!!!

Hotpoint Hotpoint WMD73 Household Appliances, Washing Machines Leak Pump Drum

hi
solved the prob now it was my lads sock stuck in the coin trap!! where the leak was coming from i dont know, the drum must have been back filling with the blockage in the outlet.it def was nt coming from the pump or flexible hose. im lost on that one but relieved ive fixed it, saved myself some serious cash.thanks for the offer though, brilliant
