The leak may be due to a clogged weep passage that resides behind the brew group and empties into the drip tray in the front. Take a long piece of wire or a good paperclip and straighten it out. Take some hot soapy water and a small syringe and wash that area out with the drip tray installed. As for the coffee coming out too slowly, you may want to adjust the grinder to a more coarse grind by one or two clicks. After each single adjustment to the grinder, it will take two brew cycles to catch up to the adjustment. Don't make too many adjustments without running at least two cycles in between each adjustment. If that does not solve the problem, you may need to take it to the repair center nearest you to have them check out the pump.

inside the machine there is a small plate with alot of holes in it, it is the filter from where the beans get pressed, it can be stopped

Yes you are correct one posible problem is the coffee shute. This is leading aslo to the passage where you put the grinded coffee and cleaning tablets. This might have be clocked from dry coffee mixed with humitity or steam. So you can use a bending brush similar to the one used to clean babes milk bottles and at the same time vacum with air vacum cleaner.
You can make perfect cleaning if you remove the top platic panel and visual check that everything are perfectly cleaned.
The last thing that is possible for the problem is weak ginder motor which have lost its power so it can grinds but not have the power to push the grinded coffee all the way through chute to the coffee group. In this case you will need new grinder motor.
Hope that this can help you, good luck.
