In order the get a non leaking reading you need to test without any baskets inside the portafilter

well... a good wrapping of the gauge threads with teflon tape, then a test with no basket and - NO Leaks! I'm getting about 12 bars, so the next thing to do is install the new adjustable OPV, dial the pressure back a bit and then... who knows. Thanks to all who chimed in.
