That problem is endemic to this grind and brew only - find out if you are still in warranty - try and get a DGB-550BK as a replacement - the 600 is the only one with this problem. Replacing it with the same model will likely lead to the same result.
Here is the basic troubleshooting for the Cuisinart coffee makers:
Make sure all baskets are in proper place – especially if unit is beeping.
Do not use a paper and a gold-tone or other permanent filter at the same time.
Unplug for LONGER THAN 15 full minutes to reset.
Clean by brewing 2 oz of distilled white vinegar/2 oz water.
If these methods fail, the unit probably requires replacement – call Cuisinart as they have a longer-than-standard warranty.

Water leaking in the DGB-600 is mainly caused by heated water escaping
from its proper path. There is a rubber grommet on the underside of
the upper part of the coffeemaker. (It contacts the lid over the
filter basket when the front door is closed.) The design in this area
is very poor; the grommet does not seat properly in the fixed part of
the coffeemaker, and heated water seeps out. Also, the heated water
tube that comes up through the cold water reservoir is actually in 2
pieces. One goes inside of the other, but there is no seal. It is a
loose enough fit that some steam escapes, condenses on the inside top
surface of the coffeemaker, and then finds its way down to add to the
leaking. I completely disassembled my coffeemaker (3 of the screws in
the upper compartment are hidden under small circular plugs that look
like they are part of the plastic surface), and used high temperature
automotive RTV sealer to help the rubber grommet seal better, and to
seal the 2-piece hot water tube. Works great now! But I must say that I
have seen better engineering in childs' toys!

Had the same problem, I used coffee pot cleaning solution a couple times through and it woks fine. Had to do this a few times now. Cleaning solution is the type bought at local retail store.
