leaks during drain - most likely causes?

At the end of spin cycles, when the washer drains, it tends to leak if the flow is too great. What is most likely the cause? A bad or clogged pump? Relatively how easy is it to access and/or replace the pump (or other things below the tub?)

This combo unit is wedged into a spot that doesn't allow me to easily access the back of it. I can kinda see the rear pipes and it doesn't seem like the leak is from there. I need to verify with cardboard or something to better pinpoint the source.

I have opened the unit to check on the lid switch assembly, so I can likely also remove the lower front panel and poke around under the tub.

As a workaround what I do, during drain cycles, is to let it drain for 3-5 seconds, and then raise the door for 6+ seconds, and then repeat this process until I think most of the water is out. That usually keeps any leaks from happening. (Perhaps all that door raising/lowering is what eventually led to the lid switch breaking.)

Thanks,
