First week or so our feeder was fine. Now drips out of the little flower outlets and makes an awful mess on white porch rails. Have not used feeders the last few years but it is hung in the same place on edge of porch as we used to have it years ago and didn't have this problem. (see red arrow on photo) Have never seen more than one hummer but one feeds on our feeder and flowers all day long.

Any suggestion as to what may cause the feeder to drip or how to stop it? Took one back to Lowe's and got refund but bought the same one again because it seemed to be the best design of the ones they had.

Thanks.
