I think it will drip on you till it gets a few thimblefuls low on lube., then it might start to slow down. You can certainly say it is a common occurrence no matter what you do. If you have one that doesn't drip, you are a lucky human!
Mark, keep us informed on the Daily Drip, looking froward to your adventure.
