Usually if the vent tube leaks, it's due to a clog in the system, or and article stuck in the tub, usually something small andit's in the front tub area. So check that first.

Here are the instructions for accessing the dispenser assembly, and what to check for as far as hoses and tubes being clogged/kinked.
If you want, you can disconnect the hoses from the dispenser, you may want to soak it in a solution of very hot water and distilled white vinegar to remove any deposits that may have built up on/in the assembly.
Removing the Washer Top Three screws secure the washer top at the back of the washer. Remove the three screws and lift the top from the washer. Removing the Console from the Cabinet Disconnect the Touch Pad/LED Assembly ribbon connector from the left side of the Central Control Unit and release it from the wiring harness brackets on the right side of the washer top. Remove the detergent dispenser drawer by pressing down on the release tab at the back of the drawer The Detergent Dispenser Assembly is located under the washer top. Begin by removing the washer top, console and front panel. Separate the water inlet and window washer tube from the boot.
Pull the water inlet tube from the outlet connector
of the detergent dispenser.
Check the inlet hose for clogs or debris. NOTE: When reinstalling the water inlet tube, wet the water inlet gasket on the detergent dispenser with water only. Do not use any other lubricant. Align the locator nib on the water inlet tube with the indentation on the dispenser connector and slide the tube onto the detergent dispenser assembly.
Remove the screw securing the front of the detergent dispenser assembly to the top front frame member
Disconnect the vent tube from the detergent dispenser
assembly. Remove the screw securing the detergent dispenser
assembly to the top left frame member.
Slide the assembly back slightly and lift the assembly out.
