Default Front of washer is leaking

I have a frigidaire front load washer the model number is FWTR445RFS0 I believe, and I am not sure how long ago I purchased it. Well the front of the washer is leaking right where that large rubber gasket is, or whatever you wish to call it. It is leaking right past and going onto the floor, its not leaking that much but its enough to creat a puddle everytime I use the washer. How would I go about fixing this? or is it even fixable

Do you see the water coming out from the front door when its washing?

You may want to take of the front bottom access panel to see if the water is not coming from the middle tub gasket and leaking to the front, if thats the case then your tub seal is bad, and thats very costly to have fixed.

yes water does leak out the front right at the rubber gasket, I believe that's what I was trying to state....I have to place a pvc pipe up against the glass wedged in there to keep the door somewhat closed which seems to slow down the leaking a lot

You could try to adjust the door/hinge by tweaking it to realign it.

You may need a new door hinge or door latch kit:
