It's gotta be the O ring in the bottom of the centre post, the little one John, is it there? have you left it off?
Is it split?
Change for a new one and try again.

I woul'nt even bother with the sheds.

Also check the little plastic washer that sits against the bottom of the ceramic housing

How are you setting the negative wire? trapping it in the locking ring can cause this issue. Also how tight have you set the draw? with penelope if you set a tight draw but vape at lower voltages then juice gets sucked up to the wick faster than the coil can evaporate it. It's most likely that juice is getting to the battery connector via the ceramic and air hole tube. Have a look at this allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/thread/9482/blakeys-most-excellent-penelope-tutorial and see if you're doing anything different

Are you re-filling it too quickly? I've found when topping them up the best thing is to tighten it up s l o w l y. If you just top it up and screw the top down you increase the internal pressure and it leaks.

To add: What I normally do is fill it up then place it on paper towel until it stops leaking then screw it back on.
