These machines are pretty simple and easy to fix but I would stop using it immediately. Water damage can be bad if it gets into the electronics and you can cause it more damage than it already has.
Unfortunately it seems the issue is not as simple as a split hose. I took the lid off and the leak was coming where the heating element meets the pressure chamber in the middle I think.
Thanks! I’ve reached out to the seller for a return and they’re being very understanding, thank goodness. I’ve decided to purchase a new Gaggia classic pro instead fwiw, excited to start brewing eventually!
Yea I’ve got an old pm3 I don’t need. Would be happy to ship it to you or can meet up if you’re in the Philly area

That may be a more complex issue. The boiler could be cracked. If so, it would require more than my experience to fix.
