Hi all,
I've noticed that my much-loved Silvia v2 has started leaking clear water onto the bench beneath it. At first I thought it could be the trap being full, it wasn't, then I thought it could be the OPV missing the tray, it isn't, and then I thought it was the overflow tube missing the main water reservoir, which isn't. I have checked the reservoir for cracks and it's tight and dry all over, and after inspecting the machine all over found that the water is only coming out along the power cord, which can't be good... The boiler doesn't seem to be leaking either.
The leak seems pretty consistent, as in not only when the boiler is boiling or the pump is in use. Also, I'm not sure if its related but for a little while it has been favouring one side of the basket when pulling shots, but i managed to get around this by re-leveling the machine and tamping with a bias to the other side.
Just wondering if anyone has had this issue before, and what it might be. I'd prefer to fix it myself if possible.
Everything else is working great.
Thanks for any ideas, and I apologise if I have the part names wrong.
Paul
