Leaking Gasket

I bought a refurbished Cuisinart EM 100 which seems new and in perfect working order EXCEPT it leaks profusely around the brew head-portafilter. Since it's new, it's hard for me to believe that the gasket is the problem. The portafilter basket goes on too easily and is even slightly loose when seated. I've had various levels of espresso machines before and I have never had a basket with a loose feel. Perhaps a part missing, but I can't find a service manual for an exploded diagram. Thoughts?
