Briel is leaking... any ideas?

I have a Briel San Remo, purchased 7-8 years ago. Still works great except
that even when the knob that controls the steam wand is turned fully off, it
drips water from the steam wand while the pump is going as I am drawing a
shot of espresso. Is this just age or is there a fix?

Cheers,
