A member asked:

From where?: Leaking from the injection site? If you're edematous (swollen) at the injection site, it will leak and the edema needs to be addressed. If you're not edematous (swollen), it's probably just a matter of the injection site sealing slowly and you should apply pressure to it till it's dry.
