Sorry to say but the water seal between the outer tub and the gearbox has failed and need to be replaced. Not an easy task and should only tackled by an skilled DIY persons. Repair kit and water seals are easily available from the manufacturer. Removing the center nut is a big challenge due to corrosion, soap residue and it requires a special socket.
