Greetings all, I have a Wega Atlas 2 Group EPU which is leaking from the right hand, as I stand in front of the machine, head. It appears to coming out of the waste /overflow port at the base of the head, is hot water however it as the pressure of the mains water supply and runs even when the machine is powered off. The only way to stop it is to turn off the supply.

The machine is about 10 years old and other than one small steam leak near the water level vial the machine rocks.

From a quick inspections there seems to be a threaded insert at the base of the head which I can access once the nut is removed. Can I just tighten this or is a more complex task required?

In a strange twist of fate the problem went away by itself - assuming some small impurity in the water, even though it's filtered, sealed it back up again - strange.
