Hi Nick, Welcome to NT.

I have no idea what's going on, but that just doesn't sound good, especially after this length of time. Did they ever tell you to expect anything like this?
Did you tell them about this leaking when you called for the appt.? If not, I think I'd call them back asap.

If anything gets worse in the meantime, I think I'd get to an ER.

Doc
