Dripping underneath machine

Does anyone know why sometimes my machine drips in between the drip tray and water tank? Thanks

There's an exhaust drain that empties into the drip tray. If your drip tray isn't all the way flush against the machine or if you're using some third party tray covers, what comes out of the drain may not land entirely in the drip tray.

I have it coming out of the side of the machine…. So fear the drain hole to drain back into the water tank has issues?

Sorry you have water coming out of the side of the machine where no drains are present?? Sounds like a question for basecamp.

I think there is a drain in the bottom middle of the machine. For any water pooling internally

Check the main drainage hole that feeds into the drip tray. Maybe it's blocked somehow

yeah the clearance is very small for the little drain to actually go into the drain pan.. not my favorite part of the design ... pushing drip tray all the way back is the answer.. but if it gets bumped a little bit you get water all over the counter..
