Greetings fellow Brewtus people. I am having mysterious leaking problem I'm hoping this group can shed some light on. I noticed met Brewtus was leaking 'a lot of water'. Some further symptoms is that the brew pressure dropped from my normal 8 bar to 6 bar. Also, it sounded like there was a faint hissing from the group head. I took the cover off and looked very carefully for days to try and locate the source of the leak. No luck, It did not seem to be coming from 'inside the unit.' I removed the grate and the drip tray and it seemed like the water was leaking at the bottom of the drop tray, flowing into the main part of the unit and out the bottom.
The unit 'burps' quite frequently as it demands water from all that leaking Ok...I though this might be due to bad gaskets in the E61. That had been neglected badly. I have not changed the E61 gaskets and washers since I bought the unit in January of 2012 (It's now Sept 2017). I was right. The gaskets were in terrible shape and one, the one under the mushroom, was crumbled and in several pieces. I replaced all those, and finally got the mushroom threaded on again (Thanks bmac). However, this has made no difference. The hissing is still there, it still leaks, the brew pressure is still at 6 bar. I thought for sure this would cure my ails but to no avail.
