Pods tend to always leak and sounds like you got juice on the contacts. Take the pod out, check the fill plug to make sure it's seated properly and then, wipe the contacts on the pod with rubbing alcohol and paper towel to make sure they are clean. Take a cotton swab and alcohol and clean out the area where you insert the pod, make sure those contacts are clean and no juice accumulated in the crevices. Pods are discreet but I never liked them because of the leaking issue. Really never saw one that didn't leak. It's just the way they're made.
