Indesit Wg113D Leaking
My first post here, so hope i'm asking for some advice in the correct place - INDESIT WG113D. Has developed a leak at the rear of the drum, looks like it's coming from the tension bolt, this needs a large Torx head driver to tighten. Could there be a seal behind this that may have perished or should i just tighten up this bolt, does'nt seem to be any locking nut on this bolt, so it may have come loose after time? Any advice please, thanks.
