You'll get a better response on the Carpet Cleaning section mate.....

You need to turn the machine upside down, undo the four bolts and inspect it from there. It could be that you have a split which should be easily repairable thanks to it being GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic)

Good luck and keep us informed :)

It's most likely from the element fitting a plastic screw on fitting that is notorious for coming loose, u need to unscrew it a put ptfe tape on a make sure it's really tight.
