Waterman Laureat: Is This Normal?

[senzen]

Hi all:

 

My old Waterman Laureat writes very smoothly, I guess it would be called a wet nib, for which I'm grateful... However every time I open it there's a lot of ink on the nib, some on the section and some even inside the cap. I switched from J. Herbin Vert Empire to Iroshizuku Yama Guri to see if it was somehow ink related, but it's the same. I had Pelikan Königsblau for some time before that, and it was worse. I left it at home on purpose so there would be no weather or transportation issues. This is what it looks like (please excuse the phone photo). So is it leaking? Can it be fixed?

To answer my own question... Doesn't seem to be normal, I cleaned the pen and was able to take out the nib and feeder... Put it back together and there is still some ink but much less than before. I'm going to have to carry tissue paper as the section has a little ink when I open it.... Could it be that the cap creates a vacuum and sucks ink out??
