Leaky Pig

Folks-

    I haven't used my pig much, but I finally figured out where it's been 
leaking from - the top of the bushings!
    Oil actually DRIPS off the terminals at the top of bushings, runs over 
the top, and makes a mess on the floor. I've seen it, but I can't figure 
out why. Granted, it's getting colder out here in Virginia Beach, but the 
thing came from Wisconsin and leaked all over the pallet on the way here. I 
wouldn't think the oil level could still be high enough that thermal 
effects would squeeze it out.
    Can transformer oil creep UP and over a surface? Or is there some 
capillary action up the internal terminal wiring? Is there some sort of 
venting/pressure equalization system on the pig that needs to be checked?
