Update* So I ended up swapping out the o-rings on the vacuum valve and seems the small leak/hiss sound is coming from the "tall safety valve" ( https://www.wholelattelove.com/products/expobar-tall-safety-valve-65000110?variant=14409383084091 ) its light and not leaking any water. I don't drink milk drink very often but may have one here or there so I usually have this boiler off ( I love this feature on the brewtus :)) Best bet would be to replace this part or should I try to troubleshoot more?
Thanks!
