My electric kettle leaks rather slowly. Enough so that a few teaspoons

the element in the base? I can't see any leaks or weaknesses.


It's not the window. It's the seal round the element.

I descaled it a few weeks ago, and I'm wondering whether that's when it
started to leak, but I just put it down to water spilling.


descaling does tend to do that.
