Hmm, I looked under the machine and was disappointed to see some water accumulating under it. I took the case off, ran the pump, and can't find the source yet. Any ideas? This machine came from Idaho, where the water must be a lot harder than here in Portland. I'm particularly annoyed because the machine was checked out by a service person right before I bought it, and I can see he replaced some E61 seals, but I split the cost of the bill with the seller and didn't expect to have to do any work when it got here.
