{{#if:{{{tube_reservoir|}}}|#The machine should have both an inlet line and a return line. Make sure the return line is inside of the water tank. If you do not see the return line it may have fallen inside of the machine and will need to be retrieved and put back into the water tank.

|#'''Check the water tank and drip tray''' to make sure there are no crack or breaks where water can escape. Make sure they are properly positioned on the machine. Check the water tank check valve at the bottom of the tank to make sure it is not broken or cracked.
}}
#'''Open the machine and check all of the connections''' to make sure they are securely attached.
#*'''Examine the pump and boiler assemblies''' to see if there are any cracks in them. If the machine was exposed to subfreezing conditions without being properly drained it can cause these components to crack. These parts will need to be replaced if they are cracked.
#*'''Make sure both the inlet line and the outlet line on the pump are securely connected.'''
#*'''Check the various valves located on top of the boiler assembly.'''
##'''If water is leaking from the relief valves,''' then the boiler may be overfilling. Distilled, reverse osmosis, and zero water are not compatible with this style of machine as the water level probe depends on minerals in the water to detect its presence. These water types do not contain minerals, and so the machine will continuously fill until it overflows, usually resulting in water leaking from the relief valves.
##'''If water is leaking from the relief valves even though you are using a water that contains minerals,''' then you may need to clean the water level probe.  {{#if:{{{plumbed|}}}|
::#'''If the machine is plumbed,''' then there may be too much pressure at the inlet line. The pressure restrictor may need to be adjusted, or if you do not have a pressure restrictor installed you may need to install one.
}}
::#'''If the valves are leaking directly from where they screw into the boiler,''' then they may have a broken seal. Try resealing the valves by using white teflon plumbers tape or food safe permabond and screwing them back into the boiler.
::#'''If there are any broken or cracked hoses, or hoses with pinhole leaks,''' they will need to be replaced. {{#if:{{{drain_line|}}}|
#'''If your machine features drain plumbing,''' make sure the drain line is securely attached and that water is being correctly directed into the drain cup.
}}
#'''If you cannot find the source of the leak,''' it's possible the water you are seeing is from water spilled when refilling the machine, or from the drip tray being out of position. It is also possible to run the unit with the casing off to help identify the source of the leak; precautions should be taken to protect yourself from any exposed wiring or hot water or steam that comes from the machine if you attempt this.

This template calls instructions for resolving leaks coming from the bottom of a prosumer unit. The instructions will adjust depending on if certain parameters are set or not. If the water_source parameter is set to "Reservoir" instructions for leaking water tanks will be included. Furthermore if the tube_reservoir parameter is set to "Yes" the water tank instructions will go into further detail explaining that the return line tube needs to be correctly positioned. Some machines feature a drain line, so the drain_line parameter can be set to "Yes" to include additional instructions for checking the drain line.

#'''Is the leak coming from the bottom of the machine?
:* Inspect the plastic reservoir valve socket. If it is cracked, it will need to be replaced.
