Hello Gast_Jan,
my basically identical EA 8010 has a similar problem.
My machine is almost eight years old, and since I have it, every one to two years the main suspects of this model were to blame for liquid leakage under the machine: the seal on the brewing punch or the rod and the two brewing piston seals. However, if one of these gaskets failed, a brown broth interspersed with coffee powder always came out of the hole you mentioned at the bottom of the gasket, and in the same train the amount of coffee dispensed decreased.
The symptoms are now as follows: the amount of coffee and consistency are largely correct, but under the front half of the machine there is relatively clear water, I would say about the same amount as coffee.
Although the signs did not match the usual damage to the gasket, I replaced the gaskets mentioned above. Strange: The seals that were last replaced a year and a half ago were in surprisingly good condition. I couldn't detect any visually visible damage to hoses and connections, but there's moisture down there in the device, that's for sure. So the machine is reassembled, switched on. Result: Water puddle.
Question: Has perhaps a tinkerer found a procedure, how one can switch on an EA 8XXX without housing and without attachments such as water tank, set container, slider etc. and start a brewing process? Or how else can I locate the water loss?
