ok this is how it works there is a trey type thing that catches water and is supposed to drain out the water by sending it down the drain pipe. when either the pipe gets clogged or something is obstructing the flow of water you get a little bit of build up in that tray. when this happens and you hit the brakes and hang a turn the water goes up and over the side of the tray and presto you have spillage. what you need to do is unclog that pipe and you will be with out worries of water spilling on your girls feet again for a very long time. hope this helps.
