 Dishwasher leaking, don't know exactly why

Dishwasher is an Amana ADB1500AWB model. During the cycle there is a leak coming from under the door. Initially it was on the left side so I checked to see if it was level. It was not so I leveled the dishwasher and now the leak is on the right side. Looking at parts diagrams here I don't really see anything obvious that could cause a leak other than the door seal. Is this likely my problem?

Sounds like the water is not draining. Check your u pipe under the sink(if it drains there) and see if its clogged. I had the same thing happen to me.

It seems to drain fine; I can watch the water enter into where the disposal is then drain out without any problems.

Soap/food goo build up along the gasket?
Swipe your finger around the area to wipe it off and see if that takes care of it.

The door face comes off pretty easy. Probably only 2-4 screws. Pull the face off and run the cycle and watch where the water is splashing around the bottom of the seal. It may just need a good cleaning as was suggested. May just need a new seal.

Pull outer skin of door off. betting you will see water coming out of the vent in the upper left corner of the door.
