One most frequent problem with your model Krups XP2000 series is a follows. After opening the back (yes the warranty is broken) below we have some photos to help you and here is what we found. Poor quality control there are two screws holding a hose interface to the reservoir and they are not tight or became loose since they are metal screws going into plastic that get hot and vibrates.
The fix is to tighten the screws just slightly so that you do not crack the plastic then dab them with nail polish so that they do not move. (see second photo).

could you please be more specific with model like is it 7230, 7225, 7240 e.t.a
You will need to pulled apart and did a test run (without coffee), with this you could have a visual check to find any leak. In order to pull apart the machine XP7240 you need to unscrew 4 screws in the front, three on the top (underneath the lid where you put the cleaning tablet), one inside the coffee container at the top, and pull gently, but firmly the little black knob inside the coffee container, that you use to adjust the coffee grinding, straight up. Then you can remove the coffee container on the top, and unscrew one screw underneath this container. Also, remove the two screws from the holes beneath the water container. NOW, you should be able to pull the front electronics off, and pull the main cover backwards, away from the front panel. You may have to bend it a little to get it completely off, but it is not a problem.
The error 3 is for a combination mulfaction of the not correct sequence of functions of the machine and these can have many reasons including the one you have mention when you have active the microswitchs. The manufacturer mention to switch it off and leave for some minutes and switch it on again if it remains then to attemp for professional help. However these does not mean anything since the procedure in cases like these is to perform all the operations of the machine without the panels and keep looking for any mulfuction.
So we advice first to find the leak and if if the error insist the to proceed to search for these reason.

Hi,
Both of them indicate that there is a failure in the internal bypass valve that sends the water to the
overflow pan. You will need to contact krups for the part or take it to
the nearest repair center.The part is not available online and could only be replaced by Krups itself.
I wish i could have a better solution.
Kindly accept my solution so that i could get the credit for my time.
Thanks and Regards

In order to keep your Tassimo machine
operational at full order, it is important to descale it every three
months. Descaling products are widely available from stores that sell
coffeemakers and espresso machines. Be sure that the product you buy to
descale your Tassimo machine is intended for this specific use only. Mix
the descaling product directly in the water container, following the
instructions provided on the descaling packaging. Then replace the water
container on the machine. Place a large cup or mug on the cup stand,
insert the cleaning disc, bar code down and close the brew mechanism. As
soon as the AUTO light illuminates, press and release the start/stop
button. This will fill the brew cycle with descaling solution. Empty the
cup and let the machine stand for 15 minutes. Then open the brew
mechanism and close it again, leaving the cleaning disc in place. Repeat
this step two more times for maximum descaling effectiveness.
Discard the remaining descaling agent from the water
container, rinse it well and refill with fresh, cold water. Clean the
machine by flushing water through it in the same manner and emptying the
cup as it fills. Make sure that all the descaling solution has been
completely rinsed away, and then flush two full water containers through
the machine before using it again. Remove the cleaning disc, rinse and
refill the water container and your Tassimo machine is ready to use.
Also, before you descale your Tassimo machine, always unplug it. Also,
never immerse the appliance in water and nor should you use abrasive
cleaning products or scouring materials on any part of your Tassimo
machine. This method works for most espresso machines,
including some of these popular models: the DeLonghi Magnifica
EAM3200S, DeLonghi Magnifica ESAM4200S, DeLonghi Perfecta ESAM5400,
Gaggia 74507BCN Classic, Krups EA8080 Espresseria Automatic, DeLonghi
PrimaDonna ESAM6600, the BC0255 DeLonghi coffee machine and the Krups Nespresso CititZ XN 7006.
