Beko leak

I recently purchased a beko washing machine, WTB820E1W. It's normally no issue but recently it's started to leak suds from the powder drawer and the door, even if we haven't out very much powder in it. We normally use a dosing ball in the drum. Running a drum clean seems to sort it, which we are doing once a month as stated in the manual. Any ideas as to what could be causing this.....
