Is it normal for steam to escape the top of a cheap espresso machine?

I bought a used cheap espresso maker without a manual. After a couple of times using it I noticed that steam would escape through the lid of the reservoir. I’m paranoid that the whole machine is going to explode or something. Is that a normal for steam to escape, and should i just keep steaming my milk as that’s happening?
