If the water is coming from beneath the internal plastic shroud around the fan housing and the water basin I would say it is the rubber seal that is leaking or there is a crack or chip in the top of the tank.
If the water is coming from on top of the internal plastic shroud (where the wires are) then I would say it is a problem with the fan housing or the separator. If I remember correctly the fans exhaust out on top of that internal shroud and the shroud directs the air to vents around the base just above the tank or to the blower port in the back. The easiest is to go for a new rubber seal first, glue it down the the spider flange and see if this takes care of the problem. Also check the top of the tank where it meets the rubber seal. | ||

Its spitting water out the exhaust. 
So, that limits the problem a bit, which is good. First, get some rubber cement and glue those gaskets in! I don't think that is the issue here however. First check the separator out really well, make sure its not damaged or warped in any way, then check the spider as well. Also check the flange (the ring held in with 8 screws) for damage of any kind. And if all else fails, run it and let a bit of water leak out, then get into it and follow the water, then come back with what you find.

One other point to remember. The water in the pan must be COLD. If warm, or hot, the machine will spit water from the exhaust. The colder room air, forced to mix with warm or hot water, is evaporated very rapidly - spitting out the exhaust side. When I was a kid, I tried it with my mother's model D, filling the pan with HOT water - was very surprised by how much water droplets blew out of the machine.
