Some water will leak if it sits in one spot after stoping but only a small amount. If the leak is heavy check the fill tank and make sure the bladder is not leaking. Also if the cleaner is an older model it may be time to replace it or the water tank if leaking. After each use be sure to drain all excess water from the unit.
Hope this steers you in the right direction.
