Is it only leaking on spin/drain cycles, or is it a constant leak? I would think that perhaps some of the internal plumbing is damaged... Have you removed the back from the unit to check for leaks (disconnect the power first). If you can't see any active leaks with the power off, plug the unit back in and let it run, but don't touch anything in there...

In the event that it is the pump leaking, they can be replaced as a unit. If you post up the model number of the machine, I'm sure someone can find a parts diagram with part numbers.

Heavy paste won't fix anything. It might temporarily hide the problem, but that's it. the only exception is that if the leak happens to be at a threaded connection, thread sealant will work.
