    It sounds like they didnt put it in right or seal the threads, and no it should never leak.something had to hit it to break it

    If it was just a little wet after instalation and went away it was probably just residual oil from the replacement. If it continues to leak I'd suspect a loose fitting or possible the wrong threads if they got the wrong part.

    Things get old and wear out, thats life. It happens to everything eventually.
