When there is water leakage from the steam valve, there are 2 sources, external and internal. External leaks are a matter of replacing bushings and shown eslewhere. This guide shows how to deal with internal leakage. First, descale the machine with a commercial product, like Dezcal. Unplug the machine from the power source then follow the steps:

If the steam wand is still leaking after a second try, then the steam valve plunger needs to be replaced. This is part number 8 on the schematic. Overhaul kits can be acquired from sources like espressocare.com. You can follow the tear down instructions on this site, or some of the video sources on youtube.com.

If the wand still leaks after trying this, a more detailed repair is required.

A well thought out repair. However, the internal part that needs to be replaced is actually part number 9, which is the actual gasket for the steam valve plunger. I’ve done this on my old Saeco Barista and it worked well. My machine is 16 years old and the boiler works like a furnace. These are excellent machines.
From where did you buy the part, please?
I get my parts from Ebay, the seller is called coffeesection , parts ship from Bulgaria. He has everything you would need, his shipping prices seem high but he will provide free shipping if you do not demand tracked shipping.
Fixed!! 👩🏼🔧
It wasn't really a leak, it was more of a powerful spray from my steam wand everytime I pulled a shot. I developed the makeshift method of turning the steam valve knob as tightly closed as I could to reduce the spray to a drip while a shot was pulling, but it was getting harder and harder to fight the water back.
I almost gave up on my 20 year old machine, but this guide did the trick!
Thanks so much! It seems like I'll get a few more years out of this machine yet ☕
