This is my second LG washing machine, last one was a 2008, and this one a 2019.
Both had trouble with the top/back tub-vent leaking in certain conditions. Usually it's when the load is too big, there's too much soap (or wrong type of soap; use "he" soap).
In all cases the mushroom-valve is supposed to prevent water from exiting through this vent.
This video present both a fix and a preventive maintenance to this issue; don't wait for a leak!
Any lubricant that's fluid enough yet will resist being washed out by water will do.
If your valve is too worn, consider changing it!
