As people get older some of the muscles waken and do not work as well for one reason or another. The Sphincter muscles that control Rectum and Anus may not be working well. A visit to the Gastroenterologist (G. I . Consult) might be helpful in resolving this issue. & It might turn out to be simply chronic Constipation with more liquid stool flowing around it. Regardless, G.I Consult is who to see

An exam will be needed as a variety of possibilities exist, from a prolapse or a sliding out rectum to a fistula that may be a vicious communication (hole) with the skin among the most common among many others. Starting with your family doc for an exam or a gastroenterologist if already established would be best.
