When I pull a shot a bit of water started coming from the back of the groups set where it connects to the main machine, at first only the first shot after warming up but lately with every pull. Any idea what could cause this or how to fix it?

I'm curious, what gaskets did you use for replacement? Did you choose the same ones again, or something different?

I'm also curious, but for a different reason. Had the machine sat unused for an extended period during the two year cycle? I'm wondering if the seals dried out.
