<p>I got a used Delonghi Perfecta machine. It's the first espresso machine I have had so I still don't know much about them, I got it a week ago and it was working fine until this morning when it started leaking from the back of the espresso nozzle.</p>
<p>This started right after I opened it for the first time and cleaned out the grounds container. Could this be a simple issue where something inside the machine is just misplaced from when I closed it up or should I contact a professional services take a look and fix it?</p>
<p>Thank you all kindly :)

# Weird espresso leak Delonghi Perfecta ESAM5600SL

(Asked by: username_0 on 2021-08-31)

I got a used Delonghi Perfecta machine. It's the first espresso machine I have had so I still don't know much about them, I got it a week ago and it was working fine until this morning when it started leaking from the back of the espresso nozzle.

This started right after I opened it for the first time and cleaned out the grounds container. Could this be a simple issue where something inside the machine is just misplaced from when I closed it up or should I contact a professional services take a look and fix it?

Thank you all kindly :)
