Hi, when I prepare espresso most of the water goes to the liquid collector tray via the over pressure valve (see below). Why does it happen? How do I fix it?

You can turn the large slot screw clockwise to decrease the leak but some leakage is normal to allow for correct pressure at brewhead. How much does yours leak?

You may need to remove a small locking screw on the valve body before attempting this but the lock screw is often not present.Hope that makes sense!
