So frustrating! I feel your pain!
I saw an article in an old quilting mag that was comparing irons and rating the high priced ones and the cheaper ones and I loved one sentence of the comparison. "All irons develop incontinence with age!"

because every iron eventually (at least in my experience) becomes incontinent, I never put water in my iron anymore. Instead, I keep a spritz bottle of water next to the ironing board and use that generously when I need to steam something. I'm sure that the water is clean and won't damage what I'm ironing.

I went through 3 irons trying to get one that did not do that. Was visiting my daughter and loved her iron . Set out to find the exact same one. Finally found one online for 49.99. Have had it for a year now and it is my new BFF. I have thought about ordering another one before they discontinue it for a new an improved one, lol
Oh yes, it is a Sumbeam Model 4267-000

this is the exact reason i never ever put water into an iron- i hate sputtering/spitting/leaking irons! i keep a spray bottle of water on the end of my ironing board for when i need a little spritz of water- or a little steam- haven't had a sputtering iron issue in years
