Has anyone ever had a problem with a springform pan leaking, while baking cheesecake?
I made a cheesecake in a pan I've used numerous times, and the bottom of the oven got "greasy," evidently from the buttery graham cracker crust. The kitchen smelled like burned grease! It was a disaster!

If the pan is prone to leaking, after testing it by filling the pan with water before using, then wrap the outside (bottom and sides) of the springform pan with two layers of aluminum foil to prevent any leaking.

Had this happen the first time we baked a cheesecake. I believe it was due to the pan leaking.
WE just made one for Christmas and it turned out perfect. WE wrapped the pan with HEAVY DUTY aluminium foil. 2 Layers. We also put the whole pan in a water bath in a roasting pan. It cooks it slow and evenly....kinda like a creme brulee. It turned out great!
Good Luck!!!

Get Reynolds Slow Cooker - liner. Place springform pan in it and turn upside down. Carefully place heavy duty aluminum foil covering liner and pan up the sides. Turn back over and adjust. to be sure aluminum foil up the sides and is not torn. Good luck, it works for me so far. A job not to be rushed.

No, but a friend had that happen. Next time, first fill the springform pan with water to test it out. And, put aluminum foil on the lower rack, in the oven.

You must be using way too much butter. The cheesecakes I bake usually only call for around 1/3 cup butter in the crust.
