I just received an Oscar and it looks in pretty good shape. Can anyone tell me from the photo about the components inside and what they might be? It has a pod kit but did not come with a grounds kit so I order one from Chris's Coffee. Should be here in a few days. Pods are not good. Also I noticed the steam wand had a little moisture that leaked from the top when I opened the steam circuit. Can you fix this with teflon tape or is there a better fix? Any help would be kindly appreciated because this is the first ebay special I have acquired and it otherwise looks in very good condition.

Thanks

Jim Taylor

The round thing sticking up out of the tee fitting on top of the boiler is the pstat (not a Sirai), the fitting coming horizontally out of the tee fitting is the safety valve, the fitting on the top of the boiler with the black connector and red wire is the boiler level sensor, the black cube top right in the picture is (I believe) the autofill solenoid. Both the pump and the autofill controller are accessed from the bottom of the machine and are not visible from the top.
