Whirlpool Diswasher Leaks Intermittently

[diyguy23]

My Whirlpool dishwasher GU2800XTVT0 (5 years old) leaks from right bottom of door...but ONLY ONCE occurring during first 5 to 8 minutes of operation. After that, NO leaks for rest of 2 to 3 hour wash cycle. This happens consistently each and every time the dishwasher is used. I'm baffled by this since I assume that if it were merely a worn door seal it would leak during entire cycle. All theories will be welcome!!

Maybe remove the outer door panal for a better view.
