It’s probably leaking because during shot pull, the pressure inside the brew boiler is high. The solenoid just has a leak.

Often enough this can be fixed solely by cleaning the solenoid

I’d try it conservatively first; by descaling the machine with a high quality descaler, and running quite a bit of water through the hot water wand

If it doesn’t work you’ll have to remove and disassemble the solenoid, perhaps replacing some o rings / rubbers in there

Or the whole thing, if you ask breville probably

Ok thank you @vale grotto ! I’ll give the descale a try and then if it doesn’t work I’ll pull it apart.

Hey it was the solenoid. Thank y’all. I ended up having to just buy a new machine though.

Maybe you can make another member happy with the old machine
