Why has the steam lost its pressure AND started dripping?

Machine is producing steam, but in low volume and without enough pressure to froth milk. At the same time, the valve will not completely shut off the steam - just a little bit still escapes after I have turned it off.

-Desperate. Been with lattés for 5 days now....

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Scale buildup can lead to reduced steam pressure and quantity; if you don't descale on a regular basis I would give that a try and see if performance improves. If the wand is constantly leaking steam/water it will need to be adjusted internally, and that repair has been covered in other questions.
