how can i fix my fisher and paykel?

The leak can be from one of the inlet hoses, dripping onto the floor. It can also be from the pump. It could also be from the main seal & leaking down through the motor. If this was the case it would also be very noisy on the spin cycle because the bearings would be wet & going rusty. Tip the machine back against the wall and look underneath with a torch. Look for any wetness around the pump. Also look for any brown rusty water marks sprayed around the inside wall of the cabinet. If there is then it will be rust from the bearings & main seal. Hardly likely to be a leak from the plastic bowl.

I already put a new hose on the machine and it still leaks from a different place. it is very difficult to get into to find the leak but it is definately not from the drain hose. could it be from the outer bowl?

You will probably find the water is coming from the drain hose. Look on back of machine where hose comes out of cabinet. Black drain hose should be fixed securely in the round plastic holder. Hose frequently comes out of this poorly designed holder & rubs on the sharp edge of the cabinet creating a pin hole. Square piece on hose has to be put back into the holder and the pinholes repaired. I put some black rubber type silicone into the hole & let it dry then tape over it with some repair tape. Buying a new drain hose from F&P will cost you a fortune.
