 I'm not sure about the 'newer' KitchenAid dishwashers like this one, but I am sure this link will help:
This is the service manual for the 17 series dishwashers (which I think yours is). I just tackled a pump rebuild for an older 14 series dishwasher and believe me, I couldn't have done it without the manual! CLICK HERE TO GO TO turquoisedude's LINK | ||

Who, what, where? Can you be more specific as to where the water is leaking from and if it leaks only when the machine is running or not? That will help us with whatever advice we can share with you. Pictures of the leak, if possible would be even better! | ||

oops.. I didn't see the red circle, but that is usually caused by a worn gasket or the need to tighten the door when it closes by shimming the door latch. Also, was the machine moved out of the cabinet for any reason and then not re-leveled when re-installed? | ||

Door Seal The one you need is 4160249. I always start with eBay but there aren't any out there right now. A few other places have them for the $40 range.
But I can tell you how I determined whether or not that was my problem before I spent the money. I went to Home depot and bought a thin weather seal that was sticky on one side. Like you would seal a door. I placed it over my existing seal closed the door and immediately felt the door closed a little tighter.
Ran a cycle and I had success. Those weather stripping seals are cheap and could get you running well until you find a real one at a good price. If you look closely at mine in this picture you can see the weather stripping.
That is unless someone feels it's a different issue.

KDS-16 DW This is my favorite one arm KA DW. When replacing the door gasket adding extra clips makes for a neat looking gasket installation but the extra clips are not necessary at all, and the orignal clips are completely reusable, so I would not sweat looking for the extra clips, after all the DW worked for over 35 years with the orignal number of retainer clips.
