I just had to take it apart, put teflon tape on it, and tighten it back again. No replacement necessary. Actually I think it was teflon paste but it's all the same.
Unplug it for fifteen minutes or so and the capacitors should loose a lot of their oomph. Still, watch out for that electrical stuff. The water line should be well separated from that.
I think I ended up removing part of one side of that fridge but I just had to pull it out some. Like I said, the leak was just up in that machine and easy to get to. If it's sprung up by the door it's more trouble to get all that cladding off to get in there. And Ynot could very well be on to something. There is a drain that should be emptying into a pan on top of the coils at the bottom of the fridge. The heat is supposed to evaporate it. If that pan is missing: voila!
Good luck with it!
