Im assuming its leaking from the fill port/air flow channel. Thats due to no vacuum in the tank or it being over filled. Its just like a kayfun. Hold your finger over both holes give it a few primer puffs and it should fix the issue.
If you hold your finger over the air hole and take a few puffs you're only going to pull more liquid into the chamber causing more leaking through the air hole.
I have a Russian I fill thru the top. 1. Hold you finger over the air Hole 2. Fill with juice to top cap threads. 3. Screw on top cap till thread just start to catch 4. Remove finger from air hole while turning atty upside down and finish screwing top cap on
if after doing what roosterado described , you still get leaks , turn it over , grab a papertowel and wrap around the airhole to prevent juice from getting spilled on your face 
and blow through the drip tip a couple of times, this will remove all the e juice from the air canal and then puff one or two times while firing to create a vacuum again problem solved it gets a couple of tries to get used to filling from the top but i just prefer the bottom screw filler port ! lot easier !

I fill from the bottom as well. Much easier! Never have to worry about the loss of vacuum.
I follow the P Bushardo method and never fill from the bottom. I check my rings once a month for proper seating.
This is the tutorial I have always followed

This seems to work pretty good but as I stated it leaks about 1 in every 12 refills
My 2 cents... If you fill it from the top your getting juice on that top chimney piece and when you put it back together, that oring in the topcap isn't sealing and leaking will occur. I take some isoprop on a Qtip and give that top cap a wipe along with the oring in side the top cap. Any juice on those 2 pieces and your atty will not seal unless your overfilling it in which is causing the leaking due to no vacuum being created (you have to have a air pocket inside to create a vacuum).
I tried to top fill my kayfun just to have it leak like crazy so now I bottom fill and watch and follow that airbubble, once it disappears I stop filling and have had no problems using that technique to fill my kayfun.

Again... I always bottom fill, it's just too easy. It use to top fill and I got leaking sometimes.
But the manufacturer never intended their device to be top filled, that's why they have a bottom fill port. Have you tried using it? Did it leak when or if you bottom filled?
Check this video out as well. It is similar to PBusardo's. I recently have run into issues with leaking and went back to both, solved my issues. Good luck and let us know how it goes for you!
