besides descaling you need to lube the brew group, especially the bit that accepts the group nozzle. You might have a leaking boiler too, 6 years is pretty good for a vienna.
Remove the brew group and look for the two red o-rings on teh brass bit, smear some lube on it, they might need replacing by now, but luckily they aren't too expensive and readily available albeit a bit tricky to install, a good light and some patience is very important.

Happens when the preground coffee is not ground fine enough, you may have to put the pre ground coffee in a manual coffee grinder to make it finer. The machine is not really designed to brew regular coffee grounds.

HI
There should be a small amount of coffee residue and about an oz. of water going into the drip tray. This is the pressure relief process, when the machine finishes the coffee making. If it didn't release the pressure thhis way you could have an explosion of coffee when it cycles back.

Hi
More than likly you have a striped thumbscrew. That is the item that holds the filter screen in on the brew unit. If you use the key to tighten the thumb screw you will pull the nut out of the thumb screw and they is nothing to hold the filter screen in and it leaks past the thumbscrew into the drege drawer. If you remove the brew unit and there is water in the pocket by the thumbscrew its striped and needs to be replaced. Be sure to remove the extra nut on the filter screen before installing the new thumbscrew.
Testimonial: "Thanks Bansheracer for the help. Haven't looked for the thumbscrew yet, should be able to find it though, I'll have a go, if I have any further problems may have to post another question. Appreciate the advice, cheers."
