It's really hard to tell by the picture. But it looks moderately normal to me.

When I still used the Ego T atomisers, there was always condensation building up on the needle plate. There was always a little liquid on it after a session or if I left it upright for a while (a day or so).

I'd consider it a leak when it's pooling out all over your ecig, otherwise it's likely alright.

How long have you had it? And do you use it a lot? Usually when it's leaking more than just condensation it means either the little cap on the cartridge needs replaced or you need to clean the wick cos it's not soaking up liquid very well.

I used to just dry burn them about once a week and it was all good.

You will Pick up condensation. Its not "leaking" unless your getting a Flooded atomizer. I ended up chucking my tanks for Cartomizers becouse i got so fed up with leaks.

What you see in that pic is perfectly normal. Unless you're getting juice leaking out the bottom of the atty or your draws are getting very gurgly, then it's not really "leaking"
The atty feeds from the cart via a siphon effect, so there's a little negative pressure in the cart and when you remove it and the spike is no longer in the cap's hole that pressure will equalize and you're likely to get a couple drops come out. This is most likely what you are seeing, there, and can cause flooding of the atty if you remove your cart frequently while there's still juice in it

One trick that I found to work very well for me to avoid flooding is this: when my cart is empty, I'd either blow the excess juice out of the atty (remove cart, insert tissue into that end and blow from battery end) or "tail-pipe" it (vape off the remaining juice with no cart inserted).
