If the machine only is leaking while the water tank is attached, but is correctly inserted, then the intake line could be broken or disconnected. This will require a repair. If leaking only occurs while the machine's pump is activated then the drain area of the machine might be blocked

i had this same problem. the solution is simple if you are a little bit handy.
there is a bad valve inside. i called Whole Latte Love where i bought
the machine and ordered a Steam Valve complete - Compact Frame
its part number GA-%0345.R and two O-Rings
the valve that comes with the machine is plastic and the new one is a brushed metal casing. my guess it will last for 10 years!
two screws on the back and the machine is open
near the front, by the steam wand, with a hose attached coming from the heater, is the valve, attached to the knob on the side
two more screws and the valve wrapped in a plastic housing comes out.
open the plastic housing, remove the insulated hose to the steam wand
and the water/steam plastic hose that comes in. replace the valve, hook
up the two hoses, but back in housing and you're done. attach back to
knob on the outside, put back together and in 30 minutes, the Titanium
is like new. no leaks.
it sounds daunting but is pretty easy and beats sending the machine
back for repair. i can't go a morning let alone a month without coffee
from my Gaggia. once repaired, the coffee is hotter too.

Try first unplugging power cable for five minutes, see if this reset machine.

Mine had the same problem. Take out the dreg drawer and brew unit. Then you will see a plastic cover roughly in the middle of the machine (behind where the brew unit was) that is held in place by two philips screws. Unscrew the screws and take out that small cover. It is probably filled with coffee grounds that prevent water from dripping out through a dripping hole. Clean out the grounds and you should be all set.

To cancel the message,press and hold the water button for 5 secs, until the message is clear. The machine is due for descaling to clean the boilers.
