Water under the crispers on this style of refrigerator is nearly always the defrost drain freezing rather than a leak. The meltwater backs up over the freezer floor and finds its way down the back wall into the fresh-food section.
Clearing that drain properly means unplugging the unit and removing the freezer floor panel, which is technician work. Owners can help by defrosting the unit manually if ice is visible and by checking that nothing blocks the vents between compartments.
