Leaking from bottom
My hoover stamvac leaks from the bottom of the unit. When I turn it back on water sprays out from the sides til whatever collected is gone. check the hoses they're all in good shape. It look like, the water collects where the Stair/
upholstery Cleaning Connection goes. connected it, to see if it still work and no water was coming out at the nozzle, just keep leaking from the bottom.

It is the steamvac pump that is bad. When you fill up the tank with solutions, even though it is not running the solution leaks out, and when you turn it on it sprays up and out the sides etc. Also the attachment doen't work either, no solutions comes out. Apparently the float sticks in this. My husband fixed it once, and now he can't, need a new part. Options are take it to a hoover service dealer, or I found 2 place online that sell the part. One is http://buyitnow64.stores.yahoo.net/hostrepufor5.html and the other is http://www.sweeper-city.com/ho5brstpu.html, this site if you look at different size pumps have a description of the problem: "If your Hoover Steam Vac is leaking or water will not come out of the attachment hose, then this is the part that you probably need !!!
This part is for F5914-900 model. Hope this helps
