1963 GE filter, flow washer
You have to remove that plastic cone and then take three bolts out and lift the tub assembly out to see the boot. The boot is the same on all filter flow washers from 1961 till the end so they’re pretty easy to find.
It’s best to break that plastic cover off it is not needed, the washer will work without it if you can get it off great but it’s not necessary. If the machine doesn’t start leaking until it starts spinning, the leak is likely near the top of the outer tub or possibly the gasket between the top of the outer tub and the top of the machine .

I agree with John completely on this. You may not even have to get the wash tub out. The first thing to do is pull the machine out and with the back cover off observe the outer tub during spin/drain and see if you can determine where the source area of the leak is. | ||
