MY [Kitchenaid dishwasher model kuds01flss5] is leaking around the motor area. is there a seal i should look at first?

There is a seal on the motor shaft between the pump impeller and the pump housing which could be leaking, yes.

There is also a gasket between the pump housing and tub that could be leaking allowing water to trickle down and just appear to be coming from the motor. The pump housing could also be cracked resulting in the same thing.

should i replace the motor?

The motor is available with the seal and impeller already installed on it and also as a whole assembly with the pump housing. Either might be an option depending on the origin of the leak and if any damage to the motor has occurred as a result of it.
