Milwaukee Pressure washer leaking water
If your Milwaukee pressure washer is leaking water, the pump assembly is the most likely source. A worn pump assembly can leak from the pump as internal seals, o-rings, or other components deteriorate. If the pump is several years old and the pressure washer is used often, replacing the complete pump assembly is usually the most reliable repair. For a newer pump or occasional use, rebuilding the pump or replacing the pump seals may correct the leak. A damaged pump, pump head, manifold, or pump seals can also cause a Milwaukee pressure washer leaking water from inside or underneath the machine. Another possibility is the thermal release valve. This valve opens during normal operation when water trapped in the pump becomes too hot, especially if the pressure washer is left running without spraying. Check whether the water leak stops after the unit cools and is used correctly. Before servicing, disconnect power and shut off the water supply.

03 - Milwaukee Thermal Release Valve
The leak could be due to the normal operation of the thermal release valve. The thermal release valve allows hot water to exit the pressure washer if the water temperature becomes excessively high. If the pressure washer is left running while it is not spraying water, the water in the pump will begin to heat up. When the water temperature rises above the acceptable limit, the thermal release valve opens to allow the hot water to exit the pressure washer.
