Re:My Leaky Silvia - 2008/02/07 14:19 Colin is 100% right - do not replace perfectly working parts unnecessarily.

It sounds like you have a leaky group gasket. Sometimes you can can spot a rivulet of water running down the side of your portafilter.

If you machine still leaks after cranking hard on the portafilter handle, you'll have to clean your group, remove the water spreader and group gasket and clean that gasket groove thoroughly.

If it still leaks, buy a new group gasket ( buy a spare too) and replace the old. DO NOT screw anything or drill into anything to get the old gasket out. If you can't get it out yourself, hire a pro.
