Epson 1430Badly leaking from the bottom. Very goey ink on a right side fabric pad

[J_Betancourt]

Hello! I accidentally posted the thread on the general forum. My apologies

I recently got a Epson Artisan 1430 that was suppose to only be having small printing problems. But it arrive with a huge ink problem that it keep leaking over and over from the bottom. How can I clean this? I got some materials for a ink waste which seems to probably be the reason for the leaking since they never empty out the ink waste

Also There's a sponge on the left side of the printer that has badly gooey ink but not sure how to tackle that either or what's the name to buy a new one

Thank you!
