I bought mine used and it's at least 15 years old. I noticed there's a leak near the front panel. Water is coming out under the front of the unit from a hole at the bottom and it leaves a small puddle on my table. I already emptied out the tank but it's still leaking. I haven't got time to take it apart yet. What could have gone wrong with a 16.5 of this vintage? Everything works fine except the small leak. Thanks. |

You can call VPI and get a new motor assembly. |

A new VPI motor costs more than what I paid for my 16.5. Is "generic" motor available? Thanks. |
