Pezzetti Stove-Top Moka Espresso Italian-Made Coffee Maker Moka Pot- 1,2,3,6,9,14 Cup (3 Cup)

I received one of these as a gift and I have to say it's a great little coffee maker however my one compaint is when I pour the coffee, it leaks coffee where the two parts connect. I have to pour the coffee over the sink to avoid a mess. Am I missing a gasket or something? Update, I rechecked my pot and I do have a gasket. I may not be letting all the water in the bottom evaporate? There is always maybe 1/16th water left in the bottom after brewing and it appears that is where it is leaking from...it also sometimes dribbles a little from the spout as I'm pouring. I also tightened as much as possible before hearing and that seemed to help
