Sounds like you need a new group gasket. If it's been a while, a new
dispersion screen might be a good idea, though they're pretty sturdy and
can be cleaned if you have the patience. A good soak in cafiza and some
time with a toothbrush and dental pick should do the trick.
When I first did mine I had to pretty much chisel the old gasket off, as
it was thoroughly baked on there.

Recently I've been getting a fair bit of water coming out the

suspect either I need to do some intense cleaning, or maybe my PF is
worn or something and not getting a proper seal? To illustrate what
I'm talking about, see the annotated photo:

Those red arrows are pointing to the water that's leaking out the
side. I've got the PF in there tight, so I don't think that's the
issue (and again, I haven't changed my methods, and this is a new
thing that's happening). The leak has gotten progressively worse.
Initially it was just a few drops of water, but in this photo it's
quite extreme where it's a full on stream.
What would folks suggest? I've done the usual cleaning with the
cleaning powder and backflushing, and I've scrubbed around in the area
where the PF locks in (although I still seem some dirt/coffee sort of
ground on there - I need to figure out how to get in there with a tool
and maybe cleaner (recommendations?) so I can get that truly clean).
So, before I got into intense cleaning mode, figured I'd post and see
if anyone else has experienced this and what you did to solve it. Thanks.
