Our dishwasher is leaking a bit. It's only 7 years old, whirlpool gold, WDT910 series
The water is coming out of this little white plastic thing (called 'motor, diverter valve' on partswarehouse.com), but after taking it apart, it doesn't seem water would actually leak FROM this piece; more like it's leaking above it and it's just falling through the hole in this plastic part
video of the leak in action. drip is right at beginning and at end

A few pics of the white thing
and after it's removed (this is looking up through the bottom of DW, it's laying on its side.)
It's the 6th section down

part 14.
Any idea on how easy of a fix here? Maybe just a loose hose connection? I really don't want to drop $700 on a new one. Shouldn't these things last more than 7?
The white part is like $60, the sump is $70 and sump + motor assembly, basically the whole bottom of this DW, is $180.
