Crack in coffee machine

I have a 3 year old baby gaggia which has a crack behind the water tank and therefore is leaking water from underneath with each use. i have tried to seal the crack with silicone but it only lasted a few days, what can i do considering it is part of the body of the machine and cannot be removed?

The loud noise is coming from the vibrating water pump.
One posibility is that is full of scale or and dirt so you can try descale the machine.
Second is probably the water tank can fit corectly on the base and the valve on it does not open correctly or not at all so the pump it can not s**k water but air or a mix of them so we have the loud noise.
Finally you can remove the shower disk on the group head , locate above where you place the filter holder and clean it probably is full of dry coffee and block the water way out.
Please note that can be all above problem together.
Good luck

It is very hard to say where the leak is coming from. If you can open the case of the machine a physically notice where the water is leaking from then we can tell you if you can repair it yourself or if you will have to find a service center.
