They ALL do it. I had one that was still going 5 years after I had 1st seen it dripping, and it was still going. It only seems to happen to the 35 amp stators, and it's the charging side that leaks out. On the smaller stators they encased them in plastic, and you never had much trouble with them oozing out.
