My kettle has also been leaking for a few months, but we thought it was because we were filling it from a filter jug and missing! It is only because the leak has suddenly become much worse that we have realised what is going on. It is just out of guarantee with Comet, but I feel like taking it back. Otherwise I am thinking of sending it back to Breville to try a for replacement (free) but so far can't find the address.
