Bosch SGS45E08 leaking to base

Hi all,

I recently aquired a relatively new Bosch dishwasher - SGS45E08.

It seems to have the problem that many suffer - the constant draining.

After 3-4 quick washes or 1-2 auto washes the machine will stop its normal operation and do nothing but attempt to drain.

If the machine is then tipped forwards or back a little water will come out (perhaps half litre). Operation is then normal for a few more washes.

I am assuming then something must be leaking slowly either in the base or to the rear/side water jet supplies. Its not the exposed inlet or waste outlet connectors as they are bone dry.

Is there anything obvious I should be looking for before I take the whole thing apart? And if I do end up taking it all apart, are there any documents out there to help in the deconstruction/reconstruction?

Many thanks
Andrew
