I too am new to these machines, but I’ve found they are easy to learn about, albeit with time, patience and a little help, so don’t despair, you will fix it.
All EA machines have similar working parts, so choose any video that seems to suit. Try searching for “Krups EA fix” to get started. There are dozens to choose from, so it may take a while. Meanwhile, hopefully this will help…

(from around 12.30 mins onwards). Ignore the voice, just follow what he does.
I wrote ”grommet” not “spout”, so this must be a translation problem. This is a rubber bung beneath the lower sieve. The drain hole is close by.
The drain valve is the cylinder attached to the distributor (quarter-turn to remove). It contains a spring and piston. Be sure not to lose or dislodge the rubber seal that is set in the mating surface.
I didn't say “manifold” (translation again) but I think you are referring to the distributor – see…
(from around 8 mins).
Let us know how it goes.
