I removed the cover. The machine had flooded the cabinet during the day while I was at work. It is plumbed with a pressure reducer and filters from Chris's Coffee. It is dripping from the vacum breaker valve on the top of the steam boiler. I cleaned it and the o ring was still soft. This machine is only 2 years old. I put it back together and when I turned the water back on, it started to drip water from the vac valve again. So I ordered a new vac breaker valve from WLL. But it concerns me that with the machine off water can still leak. I would have thought the inlet solenoid valve would prevent this. Maybe I have more issues?
