Half a year ago I bought a second hand la pavoni (pre millenium). It's working quite well, but I discovered some leakage. It appears under the base of the machine. It doesn't influence the shots, but I would like to fix before it will get worser. Does any one encountered the same problem? Please let me know. Thanks!

Sounds like your boiler gasket needs replacement. You should be able to visually identify the source of most of those types of leaks. Weird as it may sound, place it on something without the base cover, and look underneath to see where the water is coming from. Does it leak when it is off, or only when on (when the boiler is under pressure)?

The problem only occurs when I'm pulling a shot and the boiler is under pressure. It's probably the boiler gasket. Thanks for your advice. I will let if fix as soon as possible.
