recalled :

"It is the nature of fluids to leak."

Pretty sure, unless it's seeping onto the top of the cylinder and
migrating down along the gasket edge by capilary action.  The drop I
saw was still hanging from the cylinder, right at the gasket on the
head side.  It has been cold, below freezing when I've noticed this.
