Hey,
The group seal seems ok, I took it out, had a look, it doesn't leak, so I'll leave it until it does.
If, by filter, you mean the bit in the group head that the water comes through, it was pretty dirty and clogged up, needed a good clean to get water to flow through it to begin with (unscrewed the shower screen and took the bits out and cleaned them, and wiped down the bit in there).
I've also backflushed with cafetto cleaning stuff and it all looks good now.
In all, I'm super happy with this machine now, for $50 (plus $5 for a microswitch), I have something that's making great coffees, quicker than the old breville Cafe Roma which we were using.

May get DH to take it apart on the weekend to have a look as I cant even get the steam knob off!
